Le Moule Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch for wave hunting. The whole 16-day window is pretty grim, with nothing that’s really going to get the blood pumping.

The only break in the game is Le Moule – a beach and reef setup that’s generally consistent. But for the entire first week, from Tuesday the 1st right through to Monday the 7th, it’s all poor surf conditions. We’re looking at grovelly little waves, mostly around 2 ft to 4.5 ft, and the wind is never your friend. It’s a constant moderate cross-shore with a chop, ruining any chance of a clean face. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, topping out around 330 (weak) on Tuesday morning, and only climbing to a still-unimpressive 294 (moderate) by Sunday morning. It’s just not happening.

The second week doesn't get much better. From Tuesday the 8th, the swell does start to push up a bit, hitting 5 ft to 7 ft, but it’s still plagued by those same cross-shore, lumpy winds. The energy gets into the moderate range, hitting 659 on the 9th, but the quality is still labeled "poor". By Thursday the 10th, the swell is 7.5 ft, but the cross-onshore wind makes it a messy, choppy affair. That’s getting into the size where it’s only really for the experienced crew, and even then, the wind will ruin it. This whole setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday the 5th, where the afternoon session gets a "marginal" score. The wind goes clean and cross-offshore, but the swell is still a weak 3.5 ft from the east with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is only 267 (moderate). It’s a scrape, not a standout.

So, the honest truth is there’s nothing to get excited about here. No standout windows. It’s a long, quiet run. Conditions like this are a bit of a drag, but forecasts can always change. For now, leave the board in the bag.
