The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with nothing to get the heart pumping. The water is 70°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The only spot in the mix is Les Conches. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and open to west-southwest swells. But honestly, from Saturday the 8th through to Wednesday the 19th, it’s grim. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1ft, and the wind is messing it up – cross-on or onshore with a lot of chop. The combined energy is mostly in the single or low double digits, so it’s weak. There’s a brief clean moment on Monday the 10th morning, but with a 1ft swell, it’s a paddle, not a surf.
We finally get a proper window on Thursday the 20th. The morning goes glassy, with a 3ft west swell at 8 seconds. It’s short period, so it’ll be a bit soft, but it’s clean, and the energy jumps to 118 (moderate). That’s your best window. The afternoon gets hammered by a 25 km/h cross-on, so get out early.
Friday the 21st morning is the other one to pencil in. You’ve got a 3ft west swell with a longer 11-second period, clean cross-off wind from the NNE, and the energy is 160 (moderate). That’ll have a bit more juice and shape than Thursday, but the afternoon blows out again.
After that, it fades to nothing. The last week is all tiny slop under 2ft with onshore winds. The standout is clearly Thursday the 20th morning, and even that’s just “surfable” – not a classic. The rest is a long wait for very little.
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.
