The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
You’re gonna have to be patient. For the first few days, there’s barely a ripple. From Thursday the 23rd of July all the way through to Saturday the 2nd of August, it’s mostly flat with only tiny, weak waves. The only flicker of hope in that long stretch is Monday morning, the 27th of July, when it goes glassy with a weak 0.6m west swell, but it’s still nothing to write home about.
The real chance to get wet comes on Monday the 3rd of August. Monday morning is the one to aim for. At La Terriere, we’ve got a clean 0.9m west swell pushing in with glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (88), and the wind is completely still—slight air only. That’s going to be clean, fun, and perfect for beginners. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. This spot can get crowded sometimes, but a Monday morning might just work in your favor.
The afternoon of the 3rd picks up a little more size—1.0m from the west with moderate energy (186)—but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’ll get messy and choppy. Not worth it.
After that, it drops off again. The rest of the outlook through to the 7th of August is mostly small, onshore, or just poor conditions. Tuesday morning the 4th of August has a tiny clean window with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 0.5m, so it’s strictly a longboard or cruise session.
So, the bottom line: Monday morning, the 3rd of August, is your best bet. Everything else is pretty quiet. That’s the word.
Rusty.

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