Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fausse Passe over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Fausse Passe.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with weak, short-period leftovers and funky winds. The water temp is sitting right on 73°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real sign of life shows up on Thursday, July 16th. The morning swell bumps up to about 5ft from the SSW, with a nice long 18-second period. That's a groundswell, which this reef break will love. The energy is moderate (990), and with a light ESE breeze, it's going to be clean. It's a standout for the first week, but be aware, this is an advanced spot, and it can get crowded at times.
The real gem, and the best call of the whole outlook, is Saturday, July 25th. We're looking at a 5ft SSW swell, again with a nice 14-second period, but the kicker is the wind. It's glassy, flat calm, with a NE breeze of just 3 mph. The combined energy is strong (2167). This is going to be perfect, clean, and well-shaped, especially for the experienced crew. The morning session is a lock.
Coming into the following Monday, July 27th, the swell drops back, and the onshore winds return, so that Saturday morning is your absolute target.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a struggle until Thursday the 16th offers a decent clean-up. The absolute standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is the glassy conditions on Saturday, July 25th. That's the one.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Fausse Passe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
