Table - best surf conditions forecast for LHermitage Left over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for L’Hermitage Left is a tough one. The whole 16 days is a real struggle for any decent surf. There’s no big swell, no proper energy, and we’re looking at a long, quiet stretch.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, 10 July. It’s small, real small – only 1ft of NE swell, but the wind is calm and it’s glassy. The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a full degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a treat. The problem is the swell period is just 7 seconds, so it’s weak and short-period stuff. The combined energy is a measly 19 (weak). It’s poor surf, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
Saturday morning, 12 July, sees a tiny bump – 1ft from the NE again, but the wind swings to a moderate SSE cross-shore at 12 mph, chopping it up. Not worth it.
The closest thing to a highlight is Wednesday, 23 July, in the morning. We get 2ft of NE swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell feel. The combined energy hits 104 (moderate), and it’s glassy with a WSW wind. That’s the best on offer – clean, little lines for a left reef. But it’s still only 2ft, so it’s a knee-to-waist high kind of day. This spot is inconsistent, so a ripple like this is a rare treat.
After that, Friday, 24 July afternoon has 2ft of NE swell, 8-second period, glassy, with combined energy of 66 (weak). Surfable but ordinary.
Honestly, there’s no standout swell here. If you’re not a beginner, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole run is small, and the swell direction is mostly from the NE, which is what the reef likes, but the size just isn’t there. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but with this forecast, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Rusty.
