Hey folks, Rusty here. Let me give you the lowdown on Les Conches for the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s looking bleak.

We’re in for a real flat spell. The first chance at a wave isn't until the morning of Saturday, July 4th, and even that’s a sad little affair. You’re looking at a 2ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is weak, just 106. The morning has a light offshore breeze from the ENE, making it clean for a beginner. The water temp is a very unusual 71°F, which is much warmer than normal. But after that morning, it’s done.

From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the morning of Sunday, July 19th, it’s basically a desert. Over two weeks of onshore junk, tiny waves, and constant cross-shore winds. Wave heights drop to 1ft to 2ft, the period is all over the place, and the combined energy is pathetic, often under 30. The afternoon winds swing onshore from the WNW, turning the surface into a choppy mess. It’s a long, dry run.

The only tiny glimmer of hope is on the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. For one morning, the wind goes completely glassy calm. You’ll get a 2ft swell from the west with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 138. It’s surfable, maybe a little fun for a longboard, but it’s not a standout. The crowds at Les Conches are only "sometimes" anyway, so you might have it to yourself. But I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

So, in plain English: the next 16 days are a washout. Unless you’re a die-hard beginner with no standards, there’s nothing here for you. The surf is flat, the wind is a problem, and the energy is just gone.

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.
