The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Les Conches. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a real gap here, with no proper waves to speak of.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 22nd of July through to the end of the month, it’s all tiny ankle-biters. We’re looking at swell heights of 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 9 (nine). The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing special. The best you’ll see is a bit of clean, glassy surface on the 22nd morning with a light offshore breeze, but there’s just no push to the waves. It’s poor.
We get a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 25th afternoon, with the swell bumping up to 5 ft from the WNW, but don’t get excited. The period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 15 mph. The combined energy climbs to 140 (moderate), but it’s choppy and poor. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
For the rest of the run, into early August, it’s the same story. Swell hovers between 1.0 ft and 2 ft, mostly from the W or WNW, with a period that rarely gets above 10 seconds. The combined energy stays in the weak to moderate range (20 to 145). There are a couple of brief windows where the wind goes glassy, like on Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 4th of August mornings, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions” or “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.”
There are no standouts. No day worth getting excited about. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, you’d be better off finding another hobby for a fortnight.

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.
