The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s get straight to it for Les Conches.
Honestly, this forecast is a bummer. We’re looking at a big dry spell right from the start with nothing decent on the cards for the full sixteen days. It’s a total blank run – no standouts, no real hope of a wave.
The only wave in town is Les Conches, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent but really needs a west-southwest swell to work. Every single session in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, never getting above 2ft, and the combined wave energy figures are all weak, staying under 100 (the highest is just 58). That’s not enough juice to push a proper wave.
There’s a slight bump on the afternoon of Thursday, August 6th, where we see 3ft of swell from the WNW, but it’s got a period of only 4 seconds – that’s noisy, messy windswell. And with a fresh cross-onshore wind blowing at 22 mph, it’s going to be lumpy and ugly. That setup is more interesting for kite surfers than for anyone with a paddle.
A few mornings look clean, like Sunday the 2nd with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is just 1.0ft with barely any energy (16). Even the glassy morning on Tuesday, August 11th only gives us 1ft of weak, short-period slop. The water temp is 69°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing notable.
So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for this spot, a quiet run like this isn't unusual. The forecasts can always shift, but right now, it’s a solid pass.
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.
