Larmor Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this sorted. It’s Rusty here.

Honestly, looking at the next couple weeks for Larmor Plage, I gotta level with you: it’s pretty bleak for a while. We’ve got a good stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly poor surf ahead. The first real day that even sniffs at being a surf is Thursday the 20th, and even that’s only just getting to a point where you’d paddle out. Until then, from today through Wednesday, it’s all under 2-3 feet, mostly poor conditions, and not worth getting too excited about. It’s a bit of a drought.

The energy in the water is just weak, too. On the 20th, that combined swell energy finally jumps into the low triple digits (106), which is moderate, and we get a clean morning with a light offshore cross-off wind. The waves are still only 3 feet with a 9-second period, so it’s not going to be a day of barrels. But it’s clean, the wind is kind, and it’s the best we’ve seen so far. Scores are low though, so keep the expectations on the floor.

The next decent window looks to be Friday the 21st morning. Again, nothing big (2 feet), but it’s clean, the period stretches to 10 seconds, and we get that nice NW cross-off breeze. The energy is better (119), which gets my hopes up a little. It’s still a smaller day, but the shape should be way more fun than the mush we’re seeing from the onshores.

After that, it’s another dry spell. From the 22nd all the way to the 28th, we’re back in that poor-to-ordinary zone. The winds get messy, the waves drop off, and it feels like it just never gets its act together. You can see a lot of fresh cross-shore breezes and lumpy chop in that period, which just isn’t fun.

Then on Saturday the 29th, something finally clicks. The morning shows some promise with a 3 foot WNW groundswell, a 10-second period, and combined energy of 131 – the highest we see in this whole window. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it won’t be perfectly glassy, but it’s not going to ruin it either. This is the standout, but it’s still just a modest day, a fun, playful longboarder’s wave rather than something that’s gonna have you hooting from the channel. It’s far enough out to be called promising, but not a guaranteed epic.

So, to sum it up: there’s not a whole lot to get excited about, and the best on offer is small and clean on the 20th and 21st mornings, with the 29th shaping up to be the pick of the bunch, though still small. The water temp anomaly is listed as average, so just bring the usual spring suit.

Keep the faith, check back with me later. The ocean’s always got something in the works.

Rusty.
