The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, fellow surfers, let's get real about the next stretch. To be honest, looking at the charts for La Sauzaie, it's a pretty grim run for the most part. We've got a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf on the horizon. We're talking about a period where the waves just aren't showing up, and even when there's a bump in energy, the wind is usually ruining it. The first week and a half are basically a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.
The first sniff of anything interesting doesn't come until Monday the 27th of July. The morning shows a small, 3ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is still weak. It's clean, with a light offshore breeze, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary". It's barely surfable. That's about as good as it gets for a few days, and that's not saying much.
Then we jump forward to Monday the 3rd of August. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the west, and here’s the kicker: the wind is glassy. Complete glass! The combined energy is moderate, so it’s got a bit more life than the previous days. This is the one window where La Sauzaie might actually look like a surf break. It won't be big, but those clean, glassy conditions are a treasure after so much wind. For a reef setup like this, that offshore wind will make all the difference, and the period is 8 seconds, so it'll be a fun, rippable little wave.
Outside of that Monday morning, the rest of the forecast is a mess. Saturday the 25th of July sees a jump in size to 5ft from the NW, but the wind is howling from the WNW at 22 mph, making it a cross-shore mess and looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. The rest of the time, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up any small wave that tries to form.
So, to put it plainly, you've got a long gap of nothing, a few almost-there days, and one real chance on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. Mark that one in the calendar, but don't hold your breath for the rest.
Stay patient, folks.

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.

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.
