Le Moule Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cooking for the stretch ahead.

Alright, I gotta be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. The whole sixteen-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a consistent run of poor surf conditions from start to finish, so don’t expect any magic moments. The first real shot at anything doesn’t even show up because there’s nothing to recommend. We’re looking at a solid two-and-a-half weeks with no real quality on the cards.

The main break in the picture is Le Moule, a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the swell. For the first week, from Thursday the 10th right through to Sunday the 20th of September, it’s a constant story of cross-shore winds—mostly from the east at 16 to 19 mph—and short-period, weak swells. The wave energy is moderate at best, ranging from 539 down to 144 (combined energy), but it’s all short-period junk around 7 to 8 seconds. The swell height hangs around 2 ft to 6 ft, but with the wind messing it up and a cross-chop or lumpy conditions, the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” for every single session. The water temp is 85°F with a small anomaly of 1°F, so it’s pretty average for this time of year—nothing to get excited about.

The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 21st to Friday the 25th, the swell drops right off, with heights barely reaching 4 ft and energy falling to as low as 69. The winds stay cross or cross-onshore, and the period never gets above 8 seconds. There’s no standout, no clean window, and certainly no reason to grab your board. If you’re a kite surfer, this beach-and-reef setup might look a bit more interesting with the consistent breeze, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total flat spell.

So, in plain terms: save your energy. The forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s nothing worth chasing.

Rusty.
