The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming. The next 16 days at Les Conches start off with a real bust. The first week is flat and disappointing, with nothing worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a gap of about 8 or 9 days of dead water before anything shows up. That’s just how it goes sometimes around here.
The first real chance comes on Saturday, 1 August. The morning session is the one to aim for. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WSW, with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s real groundswell, with some proper energy even if the height is small. The wind is light offshore from the east, making the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 366, so there’s some grunt behind it. This is the standout window. The water temperature is about 69°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
That afternoon, the wind turns onshore and the swell builds to 4ft, but it gets blown out quickly. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday 2 August has a bit more size – 3ft to 4ft from the W – but the wind is cross-on or onshore, so it’s messy. The energy is there (231 to 308) but the conditions are poor. Leave it alone.
Monday 3 August morning is a tease. The swell drops to 3ft from the W, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is weak at 118.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the window. The wind is either cross-on or onshore, and the swell is small and short-period. Some afternoons get a bump in energy (like Tuesday 4 August afternoon with 334), but that comes with a fresh cross-onshore wind making it lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
For the best bet, get on Saturday 1 August morning at Les Conches. It’s the only true standout in the whole 16 days. That 3ft WSW groundswell with the 14-second period and glassy offshore wind will give you clean, lined-up waves. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it can get a crowd on the weekends, so expect some company. The swell direction is a good match for the spot’s optimum. It’s not big, but it’s clean and has some real push.

A general guide to surfing at Les Conches can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
