Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for La Govelle.
Honestly, mate, it’s a rough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day run, there’s no decent surf to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are mostly messy. We’re talking about a long, flat spell with hardly a window worth paddling out for.
The only day that even flickers with a bit of life is the morning of Tuesday, July 14th. There’s a small west swell pushing in at 2ft, but get this – the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving it a bit more shape than the rest of the drivel. The combined swell energy is 64, which is still weak, but it’s the highest we’ll see. The wind is light offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. That’s the standout, but it’s a low bar. The water temp is 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
For the rest of the period? Nothing. Gaps of days with zero recommendations. Swell stays below 2ft, periods are short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy and ugly. By the second week, it’s even worse – tiny 0.7ft dribble and strong winds. Not worth a second look.
So if you’re desperate, the morning of July 14th might give you a couple of little peelers, but don’t expect much. Otherwise, leave the board in the shed.

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