The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this one – it’s a tough stretch for Les Conches. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there’s a serious gap of surf that’s worth paddling out for. The first two weeks are pretty much a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and often messy wind.
The water is sitting at 70°F which is about average for the time of year, so no complaints there, but that’s the only good news for a while.
From Friday the 7th all the way through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s a flat spell with no real recommendations. The waves barely crack 2ft and the energy is super low – we’re talking combined energy values mostly under 100 (like 16, 12, 44), which is just pathetic. Most days the wind is onshore or cross-on, chopping up what little bump there is. There’s a glimmer on the morning of the 14th with a clean 2ft swell from the west, period at 10 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the NE. The combined energy finally hits 111, so it’s surfable, but it’s still very ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much.
The only real standout that might get your heart rate up is the morning of Friday the 21st. We see a jump to 3ft of west swell, with a period of 9 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the ENE. The combined energy is a solid 145. That’s the one session to pencil in, but remember it’s over a week away, so don’t bank on it just yet. The afternoon of the 21st turns choppy again.
After that, it’s back to small, messy, and onshore. The setup here is a beach break, and with the wind and swell patterns we’re seeing, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. Keep your eye on that Friday the 21st morning, but otherwise, you’re not missing much.
Rusty.

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.
