The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. For Les Conches over the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf ahead, and the wind is going to be a constant headache. The water is sitting at a warm 72°, which is running about 4° above average – definitely much warmer than usual.
We start off with almost nothing. Sunday the 19th, the swell is just 0.7ft out of the west with weak energy. The wind is light and cross-off from the north, so the surface is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. That same story plays out for days. From Monday the 20th through the rest of the month, we’re seeing 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves. The mornings often have clean conditions with offshore breezes, but the afternoons turn into a mess with strong cross-onshore winds out of the west-northwest tearing things up. The wave energy barely gets off the ground.
The first time the surf shows a bit of pulse is Saturday the 26th of July. The swell pops to around 2ft to 4ft, but it’s a short-period wind swell (5 seconds) from the northwest. The combined energy climbs a bit (52), but the afternoon wind hits 22 mph from the west-northwest, making it lumpy and rough. That’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a surf session.
By Wednesday the 29th of July, we get a small bump in quality. A 1ft west swell with a solid 12-second period pushes our energy to 56. With a light southeast offshore wind in the morning, the surface is glassy. It’s rideable, but barely. The size is just all wrong.
We head into August with no real change. The swell stays locked between 0.7ft and 1ft through to the 3rd. Periods vary, but the afternoons get chopped up by wind. Wave energy stays weak. There’s no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar. It’s all flat and ordinary.
If you’re really itching to get wet, the cleanest mornings will give you a glassy paddle, but you’ll be struggling for anything rideable. Honestly, it’s a good time to take a break and wait for a better forecast.

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.

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.
