The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Le Lido. This is a break that *rarely breaks*, so you already know the drill – patience is a virtue, or you’re chasing something else. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is a full 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so if you’re paddling out, expect bathwater conditions.
Right now and for the next few days, there is nothing on offer. We’re looking at a long, flat spell. The first whisper of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Monday, August 17th morning, and even then it’s just a tiny 2ft west swell with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak, at just (9). The wind is a messy cross-shore, so it’s not going to be pretty.
By Monday afternoon, the swell nudges up to 4ft from the west, period still short at 5 seconds, and energy climbs to a still-modest (61). But the wind is up to 25 mph cross-shore, making for a rough, choppy surface. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
There are a few tiny windows around August 20th and 21st with some 1ft to 2ft swells from the southwest, but the wind is either cross-off or cross-on, and quality remains poor. The energy numbers are all low, in the single digits or teens. Truth be told, nothing in this 16-day window looks worth paddling for.
The breaks at Le Lido are rarely consistent, so a blank run like this is normal for the area. The only real action is the wind for the kites, or waiting for a freak glassy morning that might bring a ripple. But today? Don’t bother.
As always, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a long wait.

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