The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down for L'Hermitage Left.
Looking at the next 16 days, it's a pretty grim picture. We're staring down a long, flat spell starting Wednesday the 22nd of July that goes on for about ten days. The ocean is dead, and the water temperature is a touch warmer than usual at 76°F, but that doesn't help when there's no surf.
The first real chance of a wave doesn't come until Sunday the 2nd of August. We're talking about a tiny northeast swell, maybe 2ft, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a weak 76 (moderate wave energy), so it's got no grunt. The wind is dead calm, glassy, which is a big plus. But the forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and for a break that's already inconsistent, this is barely a bump. It's not going to be worth the paddle.
The rest of the first week of August is much the same – tiny, weak swell with poor cross-onshore winds. The combined energy stays in the low double digits (moderate wave energy). For a spot that needs a specific north swell to fire, this run of flatness is par for the course.
So, to be blunt, there are no standouts. The best you can hope for is that glassy morning on the 2nd of August, but it's only for the most dedicated. It's a long blank run, but this area can be like that. Forecasts can always change, so don't give up hope entirely, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
