Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, crew, Rusty again. Let’s talk La Govelle in feet and miles per hour. Bottom line: nothing worth paddling for in this 16‑day window. Every single session is rated poor, zero out of ten. That’s a long quiet spell for a break that’s normally fairly consistent, but don’t get too down – it usually doesn’t stay this dead for long.
La Govelle is a beginner reef, open to southwest swell. What we’ve got is tiny dribbles from west and west‑southwest. First week – Tuesday 7th July through Monday 13th – swell heights run 0.3ft to 1ft (0.1m to 0.4m), with combined energy weak (as low as 1, up to 32). A few mornings see glassy conditions (ENE 3 mph on the 7th, NNE 3 mph on the 12th) or clean offshore wind (ENE 12 mph on the 10th), but with no wave height it’s all tease. Afternoons get cross‑onshore and choppy.
Second week brings a tiny pulse around Thursday 16th July: swell around 3ft to 4ft (1.0m to 1.2m) from the west‑southwest, only 6 seconds, energy moderate at 105. But wind is cross‑onshore and surf quality stays poor. That’s about the closest thing to a wave, and it’s short‑period slop. La Govelle really needs longer‑period groundswell to light up, but the few long‑period pulses (13–15 seconds on 14th and 19th) come with tiny heights (0.3ft to 1ft) and bad wind. Not worth the effort.
No highlights. Best bet is to leave the wetsuit hanging and keep an eye on the charts. A run like this is unusual here, so the next update might bring better news.

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.
