Larmor Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, we’re looking at a pretty lean stretch ahead. The next three days are a write-off with messy onshore wind and poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out. The first real hope comes on Monday, the 31st of August, with a decent 8ft W swell and a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-off in the morning, which will clean things up a bit. The combined energy of all swells directed here is pushin’ a solid 1019 (moderate to strong), so it’s got some grunt, but it’s a bit of a messy beast. That Monday afternoon gets a cross-shore chop, so the morning is your window.

The standout of the whole run is probably Saturday morning, the 5th of September. We’ve got a 4ft W groundswell at 11 seconds, and the wind is a light NNE cross-off, creating clean conditions. The energy is at 446 (moderate) and it’s the only session that gets a nod for “good surf conditions.” It’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been battered by wind, this is the one to circle. The water is around 66°F, which is about normal for the time of year.

The other session worth a mention is the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. The swell has dropped to 4ft from the west, but the wind is glassy, dead calm. It’s weak, with only 251 energy, but glassy conditions are rare enough that you might get a few fun ones if there’s any push. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so that’s a plus.

After that, it’s a long, dry spell, with a few days of barely surfable slop and then a run of poor conditions that stretches all the way through the second week. The 4th of September brings a bigger 5ft to 6ft W swell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is messy cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpy. Not worth the paddle.

The 9th of September (Wednesday) morning has a clean offshore wind from the NNW, but the swell is only 3ft and weak. You might get a wave, but it’s a toy surf.

Nothing else in the second week is worth getting wet for. The 12th and 13th of September have clean cross-off winds, but the swell is under 3ft, and the energy is weak. It’s a dead zone.

So, bottom line: forget the next few days. Saturday the 5th morning is your best bet for a clean, fun session on a moderate west swell. Tuesday the 1st is a glassy backup if you’re desperate. The rest is a long, flat wait.

Rusty out.
