The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for L’Hermitage Left.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim run. We’re looking at a solid 12-day drought of proper surf. From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to the end of the month, the wave energy is basically non-existent, with readings sitting at zero or weak single-digit numbers. The water here is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 76°, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
There’s a couple of half-hearted pulses trying to show up. On the morning of Friday the 31st of July, we see a tiny 1ft swell from the NE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 37 (weak). It’s glassy, so it’ll be clean, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Then on Saturday the 1st of August, there’s a 2ft NE swell with a longer 12-second period and energy of 66 (still weak), but the wind is onshore, so it’s a write-off.
The only flicker of something rideable happens on the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. We’ve got a 2ft NE swell, period of 12 seconds, and the energy climbs to 66 (still weak). The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. The forecast calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s an inconsistent reef break, so don’t expect a crowd, but you’ll be scratching for a shoulder-high wave. It’s the best on offer, but that’s a low bar.
The rest of the first week of August sees similar tiny, weak pulses in the 2ft to 3ft range, mostly with glassy or light winds, but the energy stays below 100 (weak) and the quality is poor. Nothing here is worth a dedicated trip.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
