G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Fausse Passe (Réunion). It’s a reef break that’s exposed to the SW, consistent and for advanced surfers only. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a lull. The first good surf window is Saturday morning, 11th July. That’s the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a 7ft SSW swell rolling in with a 12-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The wave energy is strong (1590). This is your window if you’ve got the skills.

The rest of the first week is messy. Tuesday and Wednesday the 7th and 8th see huge 10ft to 13ft SSW swell with 14 to 17 second periods, but the cross-onshore wind is blowing at 12 to 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. Too big and too rough. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are similar – still big, around 10ft, with cross-winds and a cross-chop. The swell energy is massive – over 4000 to 14000 – but the quality is poor.

Saturday afternoon the 11th drops to 5ft with light cross-onshore wind – only marginal. Sunday the 12th looks nicer, with clean conditions and cross-offshore wind. The swell is smaller at 2ft to 3ft, but the period is very long at 16 to 18 seconds. That makes for clean, lined-up waves, though the energy is moderate (724 to 799). Worth a paddle if you like it small and clean.

Then we hit a flat spell. From Monday 13th July through to around Wednesday 15th July, it’s mostly poor with small, weak swell under 3ft and moderate cross-shore winds. Energy drops below 500. Not much to get excited about.

Thursday 16th July brings a bit of a pulse – 7ft to 8ft SSW swell with 14 to 15 second periods – but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are only marginal. Energy comes back up to around 1900. Not a standout.

Friday 17th July is similar: a 6ft to 6ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, but cross-onshore wind keeps it choppy. Wind and tide issues.

Saturday 18th July gets blown out again with 8ft swell and strong 19 to 22 mph cross-winds. That’s kite-surf territory, not paddle surfing.

Sunday 19th July cleans up a bit with cross-offshore winds around 16 mph, but the swell drops to 7ft with a 12-second period. Energy is moderate (1370). There’s a chance if you’re keen, but it’s marginal.

The real surprise is Monday morning, 20th July. The wind goes glassy again, with a NE breeze at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 5ft from the SE at 10 seconds. Conditions are described as very good. That’s a strong second choice. Energy is moderate (673). Tuesday the 21st is poor again, with cross-onshore wind.

Wednesday morning, 22nd July, we see glassy conditions once more, with a 3ft SE swell and a 15-second period. Very clean, small, and lined-up. Energy is moderate (738). A nice little finisher if you’re patient.

If you’re a solid advanced surfer, Saturday 11th July is your best bet – glassy, 7ft, and excellent quality. Monday 20th July is also worth circling, and Wednesday 22nd for a small clean session. Otherwise, there are long gaps of poor or marginal conditions. Overall, the forecast looks promising in spots but you’ll have to pick your days.

Rusty.

Information about the Fausse Passe Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Fausse Passe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fausse Passe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fausse Passe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Fausse Passe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
