The Lowdown
Right, listen up. It’s Rusty. Look, I’ve had a proper look at this forecast for L’Hermitage Left and, to be honest, it’s a tough watch. We’re staring down a long, flat spell here. The first real bit of action doesn’t show up until Friday the 7th of August, so that’s over a week of nothing but flat lake-like conditions. Don’t bother paddling out before then, you’ll just get a tan.
The water is currently sitting at about 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no swell.
When we finally get a pulse around Friday the 7th, it's pretty weak. That northeast swell is just 2ft, and the energy is so low it’s barely registering. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. On the Friday, the breeze is light and glassy, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for tiny, weak lines on a wave that’s inconsistent at the best of times.
That slight pick-up continues into Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, but again, we’re talking the same ankle-to-knee-high, 2ft dribble. The period stretches out to 11 or 12 seconds on Saturday, which gets into groundswell territory, but the energy is still weak, so it’s not going to have any push.
You’ve got a reef break here that is inconsistent and is really for advanced crew when it’s on, but with these tiny, weak waves it’s not going to do much for anyone. The wind looks light and often glassy through this period, which is the only silver lining, but there just isn’t any power in the water.
This is a real dry spell. There’s nothing in this window that gets me excited. If you absolutely have to get wet, aim for Friday the 7th or Saturday the 8th of August for a clean, but tiny, wave. Otherwise, save your energy.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at LHermitage Left can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
