Alright, let's talk about the next couple of weeks around L'Hermitage. Honestly, it's a grim stretch. We've got a solid 16-day window, but there's nothing really doing for a surfable wave for most of it. There's a big gap of flat, poor conditions from the start until we finally see a tiny pulse of energy on the 12th of July.
The first real chance of something rideable is on Sunday the 12th of July, but even then, it's marginal. We're looking at a weak swell from the NE, coming in at about 3ft, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at (75), so don't expect any punch. The saving grace is the wind is light and glassy in the morning, which will keep the surface clean.
For the rest of the run, it's all tiny, weak swells with periods under 8 seconds and combined energy barely cracking 30 or 40. The water temp is about 77°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But that's the only positive.
Even the best of it on the 12th is a one-star situation at best. The break is inconsistent and when it does have swell, it's a reef setup that can be a bit tricky. For a proper wave, you're out of luck. This looks more like a stretch for the kite crew if anything gets going.
That's the reality for L'Hermitage. Fingers crossed the charts change.
