Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ile de Re - Le Gouyot over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. I’m talking about Ile de Re - Le Gouyot—a reef that’s inconsistent and can see crowds. Water’s sitting at about 70°F, with an anomaly of 0.8°F, so nothing unusual, just your standard summer warmth.
Starting with Sunday morning, July 26. It’s a total bust. Cross-on wind from the west at 15 mph, choppy, with only a 3 ft swell from the west and a short 6-second period. Combined energy is a weak 50. Don’t even bother.
Monday morning the 27th is likely the best shot. The wind goes light from the north-northwest, so it turns clean, and the swell is about 2 ft from the west with the period up to 9 seconds. Combined energy hits 85. It’s small, sure, but it’s rideable.
Tuesday morning the 28th offers a similar clean window with an east wind, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy is back down to 50. Totally ordinary.
From Wednesday the 29th right through to early August, it goes dead flat. Swell heights are barely 0.7 ft to 1 ft, winds are messy or onshore, and the energy numbers are in the teens or twenties. It’s a long, empty stretch.
There’s a tiny pulse on Monday morning, August 10—a 2 ft west swell with a 10-second period, clean thanks to a light east-southeast wind. Combined energy is 78. It’s a faint glimmer after 12 days of nothing.
For a paddler here, this is a grim outlook. Most of it is poor surf with onshore flow. If I had to say one standout, it’s Monday morning, July 27—the cleanest conditions with the most energy for the size.
Rusty.
