The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Looked at the next 16 days for L’Hermitage, and I gotta level with you – there’s nothing worth paddling out for. From July 27 all the way through August 11, it’s flat, quiet, and a total dud. The swell energy is basically zero – most of those combined energy numbers are 0 or single digits, with a tiny peak of 58 on a couple afternoons, but that’s still weak and the waves are tiny (0.3ft to 2ft, short period 3–5 seconds). No standouts, no hidden gems.
L’Hermitage is a beach and reef break that’s inconsistent to begin with, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. The water temp on the 27th is 76°F, which is about 4°F warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but no waves to enjoy it.
There are a few glassy mornings – like July 28 with 1ft from the SW at 5 seconds, wind calm – but the swell is too small and weak to push anything rideable. Offshore winds show up here and there (e.g., August 1 morning, 0.7ft, 6 mph north offshore), but again, the swell just isn’t there. Even the best-looking conditions – a glassy morning on July 31 with 1ft SW and zero wind – still get a “poor surf conditions” label because the energy is negligible.
If you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high lump on August 2 morning (2ft SW, 14 energy, offshore NW wind), but honestly, it’s not worth the drive. The whole period is a washout. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the board and wait for a proper groundswell to show up. Nothing to get excited about.
Rusty out.

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