Le Moule Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m breaking down the Le Moule forecast for you. To be straight with you, it’s looking pretty ugly for a solid stretch. We’ve got a long gap of nothing good, so don’t rush to wax your board just yet.

Le Moule is a beach and reef break, and the wind is our main problem. We’ve got a steady easterly breeze that’s either cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface choppy and messy. For the first six days, right through July 18th, we’re looking at surf around 5ft to 6ft from the east, but it’s wind swell with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, reading between 198 and 371, but that wind just makes it a bumpy mess. The water is about 83°, which is normal for the season. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out.

There is one small window that’s better than nothing. On the morning of Saturday, July 19th, the swell picks up to 7ft from the east, and the combined energy hits 561, which is moderate but stronger. The period is still short at 8 seconds, and wind is cross-shore at 25 km/h, but the forecast calls it “marginal” instead of poor. It’s the first time we get a score above zero. The swell direction from the east is what Le Moule likes, but the short period means it won't have much power and will be a bit lumpy. It’s not a standout, just the only shot you’ve got. Monday morning the 20th also shows a similar 7ft swell with 570 energy, but it’s also only marginal, and the afternoon looks like it’ll turn poor again.

After that, we’re back to a long run of bad conditions. From July 21st all the way through the 27th, it’s poor surf with 3ft to 6ft of short-period, choppy slop. The energy drops as low as 104, which is weak. It’s a bleak outlook for a long time.

So, the bottom line: the only chance you’ve got is the mornings of the 19th and 20th of July, and even then, it’s a gamble. Otherwise, the ocean is giving us the cold shoulder for a long while.

Keep your head up,
Rusty
