Le Moule Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming our way for Le Moule (Guadeloupe). I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run is a tough one. The problem isn’t a lack of swell, but the wind. That persistent cross-shore breeze from the ESE is going to chop everything up, keeping conditions messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no thermal surprises, just a lot of lumpy, uninviting surf.

Thursday 3rd September: First up, we have some small swell rolling in. Thursday morning sees a weak 2ft E swell at a short 7 seconds, with the wave energy sitting at a modest 110. The wind is cross, and the combo is just poor. Afternoon pushes up to a 3ft, 8-second swell, energy bumps to 186, but it’s still cross-shore and the texture is described as having a slight cross-chop. Not worth paddling out for.

Friday 4th & Saturday 5th September: A bit more push on Friday morning with a 4ft E swell (8 seconds), but that’s paired with a moderate cross-shore and a risk of thunderstorms. The energy is moderate at 185, but the quality is zero. Saturday is more of the same – 4ft E swell, cross-shore breeze, and poor conditions. This stretch is a write-off.

Sunday 6th through Tuesday 8th September: The pattern holds. Swell hovers around 3ft to 3ft for Sunday, then builds. Monday has a 6-second windswell, which is just bad news. Tuesday sees the swell jump to 5ft – 5ft from the east, with energy climbing to 282 and then 318. That’s moderate energy, but the fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy cross-chop make for awful surf. It’s not going to be fun out there.

Wednesday 9th September: Now we get some size. An 8ft E swell rolls in Wednesday morning, with a 9-second period and energy of 983. That’s a lot of water moving (strong wave energy), but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore. For a beach-and-reef setup like Le Moule, this setup looks much more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s messy and challenging.

Thursday 10th & Friday 11th September: The swell stays big and bumpy. Around 7ft to 7ft, still from the east with 8-second periods. Energy is high (well into the 600s), but the cross-wind and lumpy conditions persist. This is expert territory if you’re desperate, but the quality won’t be there.

Saturday 12th September: The wind shifts to cross-onshore, and the swell drops to 5ft. The energy is moderate at 358, but the “moderate cross-onshore and choppy” description tells you everything. It’s a messy, choppy day.

Sunday 13th to Tuesday 15th September: We get a lull. Swell drops back to 2ft – 4ft, periods are short, and the cross-shore wind ensures it’s still just poor. Not a single standout session.

Wednesday 16th through Friday 18th September: The final days see a weird shift. A new swell from the N/NNE arrives around 4ft with a 10-second period. Energy jumps to 416 on the 17th, indicating moderate energy, but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore from the ESE. It’s a different direction, but the same old story – poor surf conditions.

Honestly, this whole 16-day window is a blank. The wind just won’t cooperate. There’s no magic day, no hidden gem. For an exposed spot like Le Moule, this is one of those stretches where you leave the board in the car and watch the horizon. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Rusty.
