The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet. Let's break it down.
First thing, it's looking flat for a while. We're talking about L'Hermitage Right (Réunion), a reef setup for the advanced crew, but the 16-day forecast is a real bummer. The water temp is about normal for the season, nothing special.
Thursday the 6th of August kicks things off with a tiny 2ft swell from the NE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is a weak 41, but the wind is glassy, so it would be clean if there was anything to ride. Friday the 7th is even smaller, with a 2ft swell. The wind is cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean, but the energy drops to 32. It's just not worth paddling out.
This flat spell stretches on through the weekend. The morning of Monday the 10th shows a 1ft NE swell, with a period of 10 seconds, but the energy is a poor 39 and the wind is cross-shore. There are big, empty gaps in the forecast with no waves at all.
Looking way ahead, the afternoon of Wednesday the 19th of August shows a small 3ft swell, but it's from the SE, not the ideal N direction for this break. The period is short at 6 seconds, and the energy is only a moderate 66. The wind is glassy again, so it'll be a pretty face, but the size and direction are wrong. Thursday the 20th afternoon is a repeat of that same 3ft SE swell with glassy conditions. This is the best of a very poor bunch, but it's still a no-go. The swell is too small and from the wrong angle to do anything at this reef.
With combined energy figures barely cracking 100 for the whole 16 days, this is a total write-off. The swell is weak, inconsistent, and mostly non-existent. Keep the board in the car for this one.
Rusty.

Information about the LHermitage Right Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for LHermitage Right provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at LHermitage Right can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our LHermitage Right 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 Right) 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 Right 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.
