Alright, let me put it in feet and miles per hour. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for Les Conches, and honestly, there’s nothing that’s worth getting wet for. The whole run is a flat spell with barely any juice, and the wind’s just not cooperating. It’s a classic blank stretch for this beginner-friendly spot – the kind of quiet that’s pretty normal here when the swell machine goes silent.
The water’s a touch warmer than average for this time of year – about 69°F – so that’s a small comfort if you’re just floating around, but the waves are tiny. We’re talking 1ft to 3ft at best, and most of the time it’s under 2ft. The swell energy is weak (14–170), with the highest reading on Friday 17 July morning (170) still only giving 3ft swell from the west, but the wind is chopping it up – cross‑onshore and moderate to fresh. The period is short, around 5–7 seconds, so no real power.
The only moment that even sniffs at surfable is Thursday 9 July morning: 2ft from the west, 10 seconds, and a light cross‑offshore breeze that cleans it up a bit. But even then the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the best it gets, and it’s still barely a knee‑high dribble. The rest of the two weeks is a mix of onshore, cross‑onshore, or glassy but with no swell. Saturday 12 July afternoon goes glassy with 1ft – pretty as a pond, but you’d need a miracle to catch a wave. Sunday 18 July morning also glassy with 2ft, but again, no energy.
If you’re a beginner, there’s just nothing to learn on. The break is inconsistent in the forecast, and the offshore winds are rare. I’d say leave the board in the car park and go for a walk instead. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a total washout.

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.
