The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and degrees Fahrenheit for you.
We’re looking at a long, quiet spell for L’Hermitage Left. The first real surfable stuff doesn’t show up for about a week, so don’t be in a rush to paddle out.
The water’s nice and warm right now, about 77°F – a little toastier than average for this time of year.
The first little glimpse of something comes on the morning of Tuesday, August 6th. A small NE swell around 2ft, with a period of 11 seconds, and light offshore wind. It’s glassy, and the combined energy is moderate (68). It’s surfable but very ordinary – you’ll get a few clean little waves, nothing to write home about.
The real highlight – and really the only standout – is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. Glassy conditions, 2ft NE swell, with a period stretching to 12 seconds. That’s a longer period groundswell, so at this reef it’ll give you some nice, lined-up little runners. The combined energy is 84 (moderate), and the wind is dead flat. It’s small, but it’ll be clean and fun for a longboard. Expect a few other folks out there, it’s not a secret spot.
The next few mornings, through the 9th, 10th, and 11th, stay in that same small, glassy pattern. The biggest it gets is about 3ft on the 9th afternoon, but the period drops off, and the energy weakens. Nothing to get excited about.
Later on, Thursday afternoon, August 13th, a small 4ft SE swell rolls in, but it’s short period (6 seconds) and weak energy (72). The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the direction’s not ideal for this spot. It’s rideable, but it’s not a classic.
All in all, you’re looking at a patient week. The best of it is the 8th and 9th in the mornings. Small, clean, glassy. Fine for beginners, but not much power for the experienced crew. Get out early, enjoy the warm water, and take what comes.
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.
