The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long, hard look at what Les Conches has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty bleak picture overall, but there might be one moment where we can get a little something.
Looking at the whole run, we've got a whole lot of nothing to start with. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until Monday the 27th, and even then, it's not exactly gonna set the world on fire. We've got over a week of tiny, weak, and often messy conditions to get through before we even see a glimmer of hope. So, patience is definitely the name of the game here.
Forget the weekend. Saturday the 25th is a write-off with a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the WNW and a period of 6 seconds, so it's just weak, wind-slop. Wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it's a no-go. Sunday the 26th is a bit bigger, with 3 ft to 3 ft swell, but the wind is howling from the W and WSW at 16 to 19 mph and straight onshore. That's a total mess.
Alright, now for our one standout, if you can even call it that. It's Monday morning the 27th of July. The wind finally plays ball, coming in from the NNW at a light 3 mph as a cross-offshore breeze, which means it'll be clean. The swell is a mere 2 ft from the west, but the period stretches out to 9 seconds. The combined energy is still weak, sitting at (85), but with those clean conditions, there might be a rideable little wave for a beginner. Just keep your expectations on the floor.
Unfortunately, that window slams shut by the afternoon as the wind swings back onshore and picks up to a moderate breeze. The rest of the week and into the start of August is more of the same: small, weak swells (0.7 ft to 2 ft) with onshore or cross-onshore winds ruining any potential. There are a few glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, with the wind dropping to nothing or going light, but the swell is just too tiny (1.0 ft) and weak (energy in the teens) to push in anything rideable. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year, but you won't be in the water long enough to care.
The second week doesn't get any better. From the 3rd of August onward, it's a total blank. We see small bumps of 2 ft to 3 ft with weak energy (under 100) but they're always accompanied by moderate to fresh onshore winds making it choppy and lumpy. There is genuinely nothing to recommend. The break's consistency is "fairly consistent," but that just means it consistently delivers poor conditions for this entire forecast period. It's a classic summer flat spell for this exposed beach break.
If you absolutely *have* to get wet, your only shot is that Monday morning window. Otherwise, this is a kite-surfing setup through most of it, not a paddle-surfing one.
Stay salty,
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.
