The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a massive 16-day window, but honestly, it's a desert for surf.
The only break on the cards is L'Hermitage Left, a reef setup that's exposed to the north. Unfortunately, it's an inconsistent wave that's honestly not looking like it'll offer much of anything worth paddling out for. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny, poor-quality surf and no real energy (combined energy of all swells is just 9 at the start). We're looking at a long, dry gap from around the 19th of July all the way through to the end of the month. Most days show zero swell and zero energy, with a few days of onshore wind just to rub it in. There's a tiny blip of activity around the 25th of July, with a pulse of 4ft SE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-onshore, making it poor.
For a spot that's already inconsistent, this blank run is a real bummer. It's a classic case of the area simply not having any juice in this window. The forecast can change, but right now, if you're looking to paddle, you're better off finding something else to do.
Rusty, signing off.

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