The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch.
Honestly, it's a tough run. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The only real glimmer of hope is right at the very end of the outlook, and even then, it's not going to set the world on fire.
For the first nine days, from Friday, July 31st right through to Saturday, August 8th, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the conditions are just plain ugly. Don't bother checking the cams.
The first and only mention of anything rideable comes on Sunday, August 9th. Before that, there's nothing. On Sunday morning, at Les Conches, we might get a few small ones. The swell is out of the west at 2 ft, and the wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph. That should clean things up nicely. The combined wave energy is only 74 (weak), so it's not going to be powerful, but it's clean. The water temp is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The real issue is that this is a "fairly consistent" beginner spot, and the swell is tiny. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon goes back to onshore junk, so your window is tight. After that, it's back to tiny, lumpy leftovers for the rest of the week.
This is the only standout on the entire 16-day card, and it's a weak one. If you're desperate for a paddle, get out there on the morning of the 9th.

Information about the Les Conches Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Les Conches provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Les Conches can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Les Conches surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Les Conches) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Les Conches may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
