The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this stretch of coast around Les Conches. It’s a dry spell, plain and simple. We’re looking at a full-on flat patch with hardly anything to get the heart pumping for the next 16 days. Water temp is 69°, which is nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year.
The first time you might even bother is the morning of Friday, 14 August. We are looking at a tiny 2ft wave from the west, but the wind is clean out of the north, so the surface will be nice. The wave energy is weak, only 90. You’ll find some knee-high lines before the afternoon wind kills it.
Then Sunday morning, 16 August, offers a similar situation. The swell is even smaller at 2ft, but we get a gentle offshore breeze from the east-northeast, and it’s glassy. Still not much power, energy at 65. If you need a fix, it’s an option.
Into the second week, it doesn’t get any better. Thursday morning, 20 August, has a solid offshore wind from the east-northeast at 18 mph, cleaning up a 1ft west swell. Small and weak. Friday afternoon, 21 August, gives a moderate offshore and 2ft of west-northwest swell. Clean again, but the energy is a measly 64.
Honestly, there are no standouts. The biggest swell we see is Sunday afternoon, 23 August, with 3ft from the west and a 10-second period, giving us moderate energy around 186, but the wind is onshore and messy. The long-period groundswell on Tuesday, 25 August, from the west-southwest at 18 seconds, has some energy at 120, but it’s cross-on and choppy, so it’s a frustrating mess.
If you’re into kiting, some of these afternoons with stronger cross-onshore winds and lumpy 2ft surf might be fun, but for anyone paddling? This is a real quiet stretch. The whole period is a disappointment unless you are perfectly happy with tiny, clean waves for a quick morning session. It’s just a flat 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.
