The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you. We're looking at a pretty bleak picture for the coming weeks at La Sauzaie. The forecast is a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions. There’s a real gap in the action here, with nothing worth getting excited about for the first several days and very few windows of opportunity across the entire 16-day run.
The first hint of any surfable energy comes on the morning of Monday, July 27th. It’s not much, just a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 116. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, keeping things clean, but the “ordinary conditions” tag tells you it’s not going to be a classic. The swell is too weak for any real power.
We then hit another barren stretch. The wind goes onshore and the swell stays tiny. The next real flicker of life is on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the W with a 10-second period and combined energy of only 59. It’s surfable but very, very ordinary.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday, August 5th. A 2ft groundswell from the W with a very long 12-second period will push through, with a combined energy of 107. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW. The very long period means the waves will have some shape and energy, but the size is tiny. Still, it’s the cleanest option in a flat spell. The offshore wind from the NE on Thursday, August 6th morning is also nice, but again, the swell is only 2ft.
For the rest of the period, everything is too small, too onshore, or too weak to be worth the paddle. If you’re a kiter, the afternoon of Saturday, July 25th sees a 6ft cross-shore wind with a 6-second period, so that might be more interesting than a paddle.
Water temp at La Sauzaie is 68°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The forecast doesn’t give us much to work with. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, but as it stands, put the board away for a bit.
Rusty.

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.
