Table - best surf conditions forecast for L'Abbatoir over the next 16 days.
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s get straight into it – the next 16 days are a tough pill to swallow.
From Wednesday July 8th all the way through to Thursday July 23rd, there’s no surf worth mentioning. Every day has poor conditions. The wind is howling from the east at 16 to 22 mph, a relentless cross-shore breeze that’s going to have the surface looking like a washing machine.
The only spot in the forecast is L'Abbatoir, a reef that’s inconsistent and strictly for experts. There’s some swell in the mix early on, around 6 to 7 ft on Wednesday and Thursday, with moderate energy (combined energy in the 516-630 range), but it’s all short-period, 8-second windswell from the east. That’s not going to produce any decent shape, especially with the waves coming from the wrong direction – this spot prefers a north swell. It’s just lumpy and rough out there.
As we move into the second week, the swell backs off. By July 19th, it’s down to 4 to 5 ft with energy fading (193 to 222), and by the 21st and 22nd we’re looking at a tiny 3 ft. The wind stays onshore and that cross-chop never really goes away. There’s a brief moment late Thursday the 16th afternoon when the wind goes slightly offshore and things get clean, but we’re only at 5 ft with 269 energy – not enough to make a difference.
With these strong east winds and the beach-and-reef setup, this is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle. There’s no standout session, no clean conditions, and no real swell alignment. It’s a long, blank stretch, and for this area that’s par for the course when the trades are blowing. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Wait it out, Rusty.

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