Alright, Rusty here again, but in the old measurement. Let's talk about Ilot Sancho.

Right off the bat, the water's a touch warmer than average for the season, about 77°, but for the first few days it's no good. Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th are trashed by strong cross-onshore and cross-shore winds, lumpy and messy, with combined swell energy over 1800, but it's all wind-slop. Not worth your time.

Come Thursday the 9th, things clean up. Clean cross-offshore winds from the East come in, and the swell stays between 5 and 7 ft from the SE and SW. The energy is moderate to strong, with values from 869 to 1992. It's still flagged as marginal, but the winds are clean. Thursday morning gives you 6 ft SE swell with 9-second period, clean.

Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th stays clean, with a mix of E and SW swell, but on the smaller side: 4 ft to 7 ft. The real winner? Monday the 13th morning. You'll get 7 ft of SW swell with a long 14-second period, clean light E winds at 9 mph, and a combined energy of 1705. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That's your session.

The following days up to the 16th keep delivering clean conditions with SW and SSW swell, size from 5 ft to 8 ft, and long periods of 14 to 17 seconds. The morning of Thursday the 16th has 8 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, clean winds, and a strong 3399 energy. A good option for the experienced. Crowds are possible on the better days.

Into the second week, things change. From Friday the 17th through Sunday the 20th, the swell shifts to ESE and SE with shorter periods around 9 seconds, and winds turn cross-shore, making it lumpy again. Swell sizes jump to 10 ft and 12 ft – big, only for experts. Monday the 20th morning has 10 ft SE swell, but it's cross-shore and lumpy.

Then on Tuesday the 21st, we get a massive 12 ft ESE swell with short 9-second period. The wind and tide are favorable, but the swell is too big for this break – that's kite-surfing territory, not for paddle boards.

So bottom line: the big standout is Monday morning, July 13th, with 7 ft SW groundswell, gentle offshore wind, and excellent conditions for the experienced. The rest of the first week has clean but smaller options. The second week gets big and messy, with one day of dangerously large surf.

Keep your eyes on the horizon.

Rusty.

Information about the Ilot Sancho Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Ilot Sancho provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ilot Sancho can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ilot Sancho 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 (Ilot Sancho) 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 Ilot Sancho 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.

Ilot Sancho is 23 km (14 miles) from the city of Curepipe. If you plan a holiday in Mauritius, look for hotels and other accommodation in Curepipe. Curepipe has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
