The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, this is Rusty with a look at the surf over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run ahead. The models are showing a long stretch of very ordinary to poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up. There’s a glimmer or two, but you’ll have to be patient and pick your moments.
For the first week, there’s nothing really worth getting excited about. We have a few mornings with clean-ish conditions, but the swell is tiny. The best of a bad bunch looks like Tuesday the 8th in the morning. Les Conches will have a small 3 ft swell from the WSW with a period of 11 seconds, which gives it a bit of shape, and the wind goes glassy from the NE. That’s about as good as it gets – clean, small, and weak, with a combined swell energy of only 198. It's a beginner-friendly wave at this size. The water temp is 70°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Moving through the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s mostly onshore junk. We get a bump in size on Friday the 11th, with a 4 ft WSW swell, but the wind is a cross-onshore mess, making it a write-off for a decent paddle.
The second week is where we might see something a little more promising, though it's a long way out. Tuesday the 15th has a tiny 1 ft swell, but with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, but there’s almost no height. The morning is clean with light offshore winds from the ENE, so it’s a glassy, tiny wave. Not really one to plan a trip around. Wednesday the 16th morning looks similar – a clean 2 ft swell from the W with a period of 12 seconds and light offshore winds from the NNE. Still small, but the cleanest option in the second week.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a tough one. There are no proper standouts. If you're desperate, the glassy mornings on the 8th, 15th, and 16th will give you something to ride, but don't expect any power. The combined energy figures are all in the weak range, mostly under 100 or just into the low 100s, confirming there's just no punch. For the most part, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Keep an eye on it, things can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
