Alright folks, Rusty again, with the same story in feet and miles. Looking at L’Hermitage Left, it’s a grim stretch. The water temp is 25° and about average for the time of year.
We’ve got a long, bleak run from July 12th all the way through to July 22nd. There are tiny little waves, but nothing that’s any good. Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, like on the morning of July 14th or the morning of July 16th with a light offshore, the swell is just too small. We’re talking about 1 to 2 feet of weak, short-period energy from the NE, and the combined energy rarely gets above 84, so it’s all very weak. There are totally flat days in there, like July 17th, 19th, 20th, and 21st.
There’s a tiny pulse around July 25th and 26th. On the 25th morning, we see about 2ft from the NE with a 10-second period and energy of 80. Wind is a slight cross-shore. Still small and weak. The best of the bunch looks like July 27th morning, with 2ft from the NE, an 11-second period, and energy of 99. The wind is calm, so it would be glassy. But this break is inconsistent, and the quality just isn’t there.
With the tiny surf and messy wind patterns, you’d be lucky to get a knee-high wave that’s clean. This whole 16-day window is a dead loss for a proper surf.
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.
