The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards for L'Hermitage Left.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch to call. For a spot that's an exposed reef break that *rarely* fires, the next sixteen days are looking like a flat spell. The water's sitting at a balmy 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for early September, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing here.
From now, right through to the 17th of September, there's just nothing doing. We're talking a solid two weeks with no surf worth paddling for. You'll see the odd ripple, like a tiny 2ft push on Thursday morning the 3rd with the wind going glassy, but that combined energy is only 41 (weak) and it's got a short period. It's still tagged as 'poor surf conditions' so don't get excited. There's another little bump on the 12th of September, maybe 2ft from the NE, but it's onshore wind and the energy is still weak at 47.
Even the long-range stuff around the 17th is barely a whisper—a 1ft NE swell with a bit of cross-offshore wind might clean it up, but with an energy reading of just 19, it's not going to produce a wave you'd want to drive for.
This is just one of those periods where the island goes quiet. It’s a consistent theme for the entire 16-day window. There are no standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. If you're desperate, you could stare at the horizon, but the reality is, for a shallow reef that needs a proper push, the wait continues. Forecasts can always change, but right now, this one's a write-off.
Stay patient,
Rusty
