The Lowdown
Rusty here again, same story but in feet and Fahrenheit. Look, L'Hermitage Left is in a flat spell for the next 16 days. The first week or more is basically a write-off – tiny, weak, and messy surf with no real energy.
Water temp is about 75°, which is just a hair above the average for this time of year – nothing special.
From Sunday September 13th through to Friday September 25th, it’s mostly flat or offering tiny, poor-quality waves. Energy readings are often zero or very low. There are some glassy mornings, like Thursday the 17th with a 2ft north-easterly under light offshore wind – but combined energy is only 34. Not worth suiting up. Monday the 21st afternoon has glassy conditions and a 1ft north-easterly, energy just 19.
The best window comes on Saturday September 26th afternoon. You’ll see a 2ft north-easterly swell under glassy wind, with combined energy hitting 87 – the highest of the whole outlook. It’s still ordinary and the swell is short-period windswell, but it’ll be clean. L'Hermitage Left is an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent, and crowds can show up sometimes. Sunday the 27th morning is similar: 2ft NE swell, glassy, energy 61.
If you want the standout, it’s Saturday the 26th afternoon. Clean, small, but the best we’ve got.
Rusty out.

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.
