The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch for Les Conches. Gonna be a long wait before anything remotely rideable shows up, so don’t hold your breath.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, this is about as flat and sloppy as it gets. We’re looking at a massive gap from today right through to almost mid-August with essentially zero on offer. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average – the waves are a total no-show. The wind is all over the shop, mostly howling cross-onshore or straight onshore, turning what little bump there is into a complete mess. You’ll see mornings with glassy conditions and tiny 1 ft to 1.3 ft slop, but the combined energy is pathetic – we're talking 15 to 30 range – and it’s just not worth getting wet for. Afternoons are a write-off with moderate to fresh breezes and choppy, lumpy water.
It stays like this day after day. Morning glass-offs with a dribble of swell, then the seabreeze ruins it. That goes all the way through the first week of August. Come Monday the 5th, it turns into straight onshore crud. This is a beach break setup, and with this much wind and this little swell, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling a surfboard.
The first tiny flicker of hope doesn't appear until Wednesday the 12th of August. That morning we finally see a “surfable waves” call, with a combined energy of 196 and a little 2.6 ft swell from the WSW. Conditions are clean with a light breeze, but the swell period is a sluggish 9 seconds. Still, it’s the first real sign of life after a solid two-week drought.
That Thursday morning the 13th of August looks like the best we’re going to get in this entire outlook. We’ve got a clean 3.6 ft swell from the west, a nice 9-second period, and gentle offshore winds from the NE. The combined energy is 194, which is decent. At Les Conches, a 3.6 ft west swell with offshore wind should produce some clean, rideable little waves. It’s not going to be pumping, but after all that nothing, it’ll feel like a gift. Keep your expectations in check though – this is a small window after a massive wait.

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.
