The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for L’Hermitage Left.
First thing you need to know: it’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. This reef break is an inconsistent one, and this 16-day window proves it. There’s a big gap of flat, poor conditions right from the start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny or no swell and onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up.
The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re just floating about.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday the 9th of September in the afternoon. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy. The energy is weak, only 32 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s not going to be a proper session, more of a cruise on a longboard, but it’ll be clean.
That glassy theme continues into Thursday the 10th, with a little bump to 2ft from the NE and glassy winds again. The energy is still low at 50 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s the same story: small, clean, but not really a standout.
After that, it’s more flat spells and poor conditions. Saturday the 12th delivers a 2ft glassy morning, but it’s tiny. We get a few more 2ft to 3ft days towards the end of the second week, like Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, with period between 7 and 9 seconds, but the energy never gets above 54 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is often light and glassy or cross-shore, but the swell just isn’t there.
The best of what’s on offer – and I’m scraping the barrel here – is probably the afternoon of Thursday the 17th of September. 3ft from the NE (54 energy), dead calm, glassy. It’s a longboard or foamie special, and crowds are possible at this spot, so you might have some company. But for a proper wave, this isn’t it.
For the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that gets the heart racing. The weak energy and tiny swell mean this is a blank run for the area. Stick to the flat days for a swim.
Rusty.

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.
