The Lowdown
Alright mate, let's take a look at what's cooking for L'Hermitage Left.
L'Hermitage Left
So, it's looking like a real quiet spell for this reef. This break doesn't fire very often anyway, and this whole sixteen-day stretch is shaping up to be one of those flat runs. We've got a massive gap where there's just nothing on offer.
Saturday the 25th is a total dud. There's a tiny 1-foot north-easterly swell on Saturday morning, but a 15 km/h cross-offshore breeze makes it a complete waste of time. The swell energy is a pathetic 15. The afternoon is even smaller at 0.6 ft from the east-north-east. Forget it.
Then, from Sunday the 26th right through to Tuesday afternoon the 29th, the ocean goes completely flat. No swell at all. We finally see a little 1 ft north-easterly bump on Wednesday the 29th, but it's only got a 6-second period and it's still not enough to surf. This weak, tiny wave pattern just keeps going, day after day.
The water temp on Saturday the 25th was 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year. Nothing crazy.
To be honest, there's only one session that even gets a mention, and it's way out on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th. We've got a 2-foot north-easterly swell with a 9-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The swell energy gets up to a modest 76. It's described as "surfable but very ordinary." That's the pick of the bunch. If you're absolutely desperate to get wet on a tiny, clean little wave on a foam board, that's your chance. But for a proper surf? No dice.
So, for this whole sixteen-day window, L'Hermitage Left isn't offering any real surf. It's a big old flat spell with only one marginal window on August 5th that might just get you wet if you're really keen. Pretty standard for an inconsistent spot.
