The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at La Govelle.
First up, the water is sitting at 68.0°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice.
Now, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. The next 16 days are a real struggle for this spot. For the first week, from July 22nd right through to July 31st, it’s a flat spell. There’s a long stretch where the swell is barely a ripple, and the wind is mostly all wrong. You’ll be sitting on the beach watching the sand dry. There’s a few moments where the wind looks clean, like the morning of the 22nd with a gentle offshore breeze, but the swell is only 0.7ft with weak energy (10) – it’s just not enough to push a wave. The whole first week is a write-off.
Then we hit the first of August. The energy starts to pick up a bit. Saturday the 1st of August shows some promise in the afternoon with a 3.9ft swell from the west, but it’s getting hammered by a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it choppy. The energy is moderate (180), but the conditions are poor. Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the best of the bunch. You’ll see a 3.3ft west swell, with a very clean texture thanks to a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate (168). It’s surfable, but it’s still very ordinary. It’s the only real window in the whole 16 days that even gets a "surfable" tag. After that, it drops back into the doldrums for the rest of the period.
Honestly, if you need a paddle, the morning of Sunday, August 2nd is the only time to even bother. The swell is small, but it’s clean. For the rest of the forecast, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
