Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks for L'Hermitage Left, and I gotta say, it's a tough stretch. This spot is a known as an advanced reef break, and it's naturally inconsistent, so when it's flat, it's flat. We've got a long, dry spell on our hands.
Starting off now, through to the end of the first week of July, we're looking at almost nothing. There's a tiny pulse of 1 ft NE swell on Friday afternoon, but the combined energy is a weak 6, and the period is a short 4 seconds – that's just not enough to get this reef going. The water is sitting at a warm 77°F, which is a bit toastier than usual for this time of year, but honestly, you'll be sitting on the beach anyway. We see a few glassy days with zero surf, just flat calm conditions. Into the second week, we get a slight bump on the 6th of July with a 4 ft SSW swell and some moderate energy reading 117, but the wind is a messy cross-shore breeze at 16 mph, making it choppy and not worth the paddle out.
The good news is that on the 8th of July, we get a morning of glassy conditions with a tiny 1.0 ft NE swell – still too small for a proper ride. The best we can really hope for in this window is the 17th of July, during the morning. We've got a glassy surface, a clean 1 ft NE swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy sits at a modest 21. The wind is calm, so it'll be clean, but that swell height means it's really only for the longboard or a fun shape, and only if you're desperate. Then on the 18th of July, we get a bit more size with a 4 ft SSE swell, but the period is short at 5-6 seconds, and the wind will be a light cross-shore. It’s still messy.
Honestly, if you’re a surfer, the next two weeks are a write-off. The combined energy never really gets above moderate, and the swell directions aren't matching the optimum north swell this break craves. This kind of blank run is a bit more normal for this area, so don't lose hope. Just keep an eye on the charts – things can change.
Rusty.

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.
