The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Les Conches over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you, it's a quiet stretch. We’ve got a long gap of very small, poor surf conditions before anything even reaches a 'surfable' level, so don't expect any fireworks.
The story starts with a real dud. From Sunday the 9th right through to Thursday the 14th, it’s flat and messy. We're talking tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swells with weak energy readings. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, making it choppy and unrideable. It’s a big blank run for a solid 5 days.
Finally, on Friday morning the 14th, we get a window. The swell pushes up to 2ft from the west, with a moderate period of 10 seconds. The big bonus is the glassy wind, and the water temp sits at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year. The report says conditions are "surfable but very ordinary," and the rating backs that up. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s still only for the absolute beginner or the guy who just needs to get wet.
After that little tease, it’s back to the same story. From Friday afternoon through to the end of the forecast, it's all small, poor, and bumpy. Swells stay below 3ft, periods are mostly short, and winds are generally from the west or northwest onshore and strong. The best bet after that Friday window is Monday morning the 18th, with a 1ft west swell under clean, moderate offshore ENE winds, but there’s just nothing to push you down the line.
To be honest, the whole 16-day window is a tough watch. The only true standout, if you can call it that, is the Friday morning the 14th at Les Conches for that rare glassy window. But I wouldn’t be holding my breath. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game. The setups look more interesting for a kite or a paddleboard session than a surfboard. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long, poor run.
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.
