Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's going on for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the start is a total loss. The first few days are a washout. We've got a huge, raw swell cranking on Tuesday the 7th, with a combined wave energy reading of 13694 – that's some serious power – but the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 15 to 19 mph. It's a big, blown-out mess. That swell stays way too big for this spot, over 13ft on Wednesday morning, but even then the wind is still cross-on. Honestly, not worth suiting up.

We finally get a little window of hope on Friday the 10th afternoon. The swell drops to 10ft from the S, but with a gentle breeze giving us a cross-shore texture. It’s still a bit on the heavy side and the energy is moderate (3007), but the tide might line up. You'd want your wits about you.

Now, listen close because the standout is coming. Saturday the 11th morning is the one to circle. The swell eases to a solid 6ft from the SSW, a long period of 12 seconds pushing in, and the combined energy is still a healthy 1816. But the kicker is the wind: a light 3 mph from the SE, giving us clean, cross-offshore conditions. The water temp is sitting at a normal 73°, about average for this time of year. This is the best we're going to see for the whole run—clean faces with some real grunt behind them. Just be aware, Fausse Passe can get a crowd sometimes, so get in early.

After that high, it tapers off. Sunday the 12th is small, with a 3ft to 3ft SSW swell but a long 18-second period making it glassy and clean, perfect for a longboard if you're keen. The energy is dropping though (800). Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are tiny, with the wind getting howling offshore at 19 to 22 mph, but there's just no swell to work with.

The second week looks pretty flat for the most part. There's a pulse of 6ft swell from the SSW on Thursday the 16th with a 15-second period and clean winds, but the combined energy is moderate at 1690. It's a maybe. By Wednesday the 22nd, we're down to ankle-slappers of 2ft with gale-force offshore winds. Not a whole lot to get excited about. The set-up looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle by then.

So, to cap it off: the real gem is Saturday the 11th morning. Everything else is either too big and messy, or too small to bother with. Get it while you can.

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.
