The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because the outlook for L’Hermitage Left is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a classic 16-day stretch that’s mostly a flat spell with some tiny, marginal bumps that just don't have the energy or the quality to get excited about.
The first real chance for a paddle comes up on Tuesday, August 4th. The water temperature is sitting at 25°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll feel nice. The morning session is your best bet. We've got a tiny 2 ft of swell sliding in from the NE, but the period is a respectable 11 seconds, which gives it a bit of shape for a reef break like this. Combined energy is weak at just 90, so don't expect much push. The real highlight is the wind – it's glassy, dead calm from the SSW. That's the only window in the whole forecast where the conditions line up for a clean wave. It's surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
After that morning, it's a long, dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the 16-day window, the forecast is a constant stream of "poor surf conditions" with combined energy values barely breaking 70. There are a few more moments of glassy conditions, like Saturday morning, August 8th, or Sunday morning, August 9th, but the swell is just not there. The energy is too weak to do anything with.
This is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this forecast is a true reflection of that. There's no standout session, no big swell, nothing to chase. If you are determined to get wet, the Tuesday morning, August 4th, at L’Hermitage Left is the only window that even qualifies as surfable, with glassy wind and a 2 ft, 11-second NE groundswell. It's a real shame, but that's the hand we've been dealt.

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.

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.
