The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at La Sauzaie over the next couple weeks.
Straight up – there’s not a single good surf day in this whole 16‑day window. None. Everything’s flagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores don’t lie. This reef break (intermediate, fairly consistent normally) is gonna be a total flat‑to‑slop affair. The water’s way warmer than usual for this time of year – about 72°F with a 5°F anomaly – but that’s small comfort when there’s no wave to ride.
From Saturday 18 July right through to Sunday 2 August, it’s the same story: tiny swell barely nudging 0.7‑1ft, mostly from the west or northwest with periods stuck under 8 seconds. Weak energy too – combined figures mostly in single digits or low teens (like 9, 14, 7). The wind tries to be offshore at times on the 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd, but there’s just no swell to work with. Later in the period the wind turns cross‑shore or onshore, making things choppy.
A brief tease around Saturday 25 July and Sunday 26 July sees a little bump to 2‑4ft from the WNW, period barely 5‑8 seconds, energy hitting 69‑82 – still weak. But the wind is cross or cross‑on, and the comment’s still “poor surf conditions.” That setup would be more interesting for kite‑surfing than paddle‑surfing, honestly.
After that it fades again into 0.7‑2ft mush through the first days of August. No standout, no hope – just a long, flat gap.
But hey, this is a fairly consistent spot normally, so a blank run like this is a bit unusual. Forecasts can change, and often they do. Keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board at home.

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