The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Alright, hasn’t been a lot of chatter for a while, so let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty quiet conditions on the cards for Les Conches. The first surf that’s even worth a look doesn’t roll in until the morning of Monday, July 27th, so we’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing to recommend. That’s a bit of a bummer.
Monday morning, July 27th, we’re finally seeing something surfable, but it’s just ordinary, not special. The swell is a tiny 2ft out of the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (82). The wind is a clean light cross-offshore from the NNW, which is a nice touch, but the waves themselves are just too small to get excited about. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but not much else.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday, August 4th. This is the best the whole 16-day window offers. The swell is still only 1ft from the west-northwest, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is weak (39). But the wind is a clean, light cross-offshore from the ESE, making for clean conditions. For a spot that’s exposed to a west-southwest swell, this direction is a bit off, but it’s the cleanest we get. It’s still tiny, but it’s the pick of a very quiet bunch. The water temperature is 70°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Don’t expect much else. The rest of the fortnight is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with most of the swell being under 2ft. There’s a slight bump on Sunday, August 2nd, with a 3ft swell, but it’s coming in with moderate cross-onshore winds and a combined energy of 105 (moderate), so it’s going to be a messy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for.
Honestly, it’s a quiet period. The swell is small, and the wind isn’t cooperating. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
