The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Les Conches. Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, messy, or just plain unsurfable conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any quality sessions soon.

The first couple of weeks are a write-off. From Friday the 17th right through to the end of July, it’s mostly tiny dribble with heights barely scraping 2 ft, and the wind is all over the shop. There’s a brief moment Sunday morning the 19th with clean offshore wind from the ENE, but with a swell height of only 0.7 ft and a weak combined energy (8), you’re basically just floating around. The water is a notable 72° – that’s a whopping 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is pretty unusual.

We finally see a little pulse of life around Wednesday the 30th of July. Swell bumps up to 6 ft straight out of the west, and the combined energy hits 804 – that’s moderate to strong energy. But the wind is onshore and sloppy, so it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, the one true standout in this whole outlook is Friday morning, the 31st of July. Swell drops to a clean 4 ft from the west, period is a solid 10 seconds, and the combined energy is still a healthy 418. The wind goes glassy, coming from the SSW, and it’s described as glassy. That’s the kind of morning you set the alarm for. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” but it’s far out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is the only real window of quality.

After that, it drops back to tiny slop through the first of August, with nothing to write home about.

So, to sum it up: if you’re a beginner, the 4 ft on the 31st is manageable. For anyone else, it’s the only show in town. The rest of the 16 days? Save your energy. Don’t bother waxing the board until the tail end of the month.

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.
