Le Moule Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right now, the surf around Le Moule is pretty much a no-go. We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing but poor conditions – mostly cross-shore winds chopping things up, and the swell just isn’t doing us any favors. The wave heights are hanging around 3ft to 4ft with short, weak periods, and that southeast to east wind just keeps messing with the surface. It’s going to be a frustrating few days if you’re itching to paddle out.

The first few days, Sunday and Monday (13th and 14th), are looking rough. The swell is there, but it’s short-period, around 7-9 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore. The combined energy is moderate, but it’s all over the place, so it’s not translating into anything rideable. Expect a cross-chop on the surface.

We get a slight bump in size mid-week, around Wednesday and Thursday (16th and 17th), with waves pushing 5ft to 6ft. But again, it’s not clean. The wind stays cross, gusting up to 30 km/h, and the period is still short, around 7-8 seconds. It’s just a lumpy, messy mess out there. That’s not the kind of surf you want to get excited about. It’s more likely to just beat you up than give you a good wave.

The swell starts to fade going into the weekend and into the following week, dropping down to around 2ft. The energy drops off hard too, going from moderate to weak. There’s a brief moment early Monday morning, the 28th, where things look a bit cleaner. The wind goes cross-off, and the waves will be around 4ft, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. It’s still marginal at best. Maybe there’s a sneaky one in there if you’re desperate, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Honestly, this whole 16-day window is a blank run for Le Moule. There’s no standout swell, no clean offshore windows, just a long stretch of poor surf and cross-shore chop. It’s not unusual for this spot to go quiet, but it never stays poor for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d say find something else to do. The water temp is 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it’s warm when you’re getting skunked.

If you’re a beginner, the few times the swell pushes over 5ft, you’d want to stay out of it anyway. And with that short period, even the bigger days will have no power. It’s one of those stretches where it’s just not worth the effort. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with this kind of cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions.
