Alright, let’s talk about it in feet and miles per hour.
This 16-day stretch for Les Conches is pretty flat overall – no real size, nothing that’ll get your heart pumping. The first bit of surf shows up on the morning of Friday the 3rd, and it’s not much. You’re looking at a small 2ft swell from the west, around 11 seconds, so it’s got a little shape. Wind is light offshore from the north at 3 mph, so conditions should be clean. But the wave energy is weak (114), and it’s just ordinary. Water temp is about 71°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – over 5° above normal, so the ocean feels weirdly warm.
That afternoon, wind swings to a fresh 19 mph from the west-northwest, cross-onshore, and it gets lumpy. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 5th morning is the cleanest window. Swell drops to 2ft from the west, 10-second period, but you’ve got a nice offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 9 mph. That’ll make the tiny waves look glassy. No power – energy is just 47 – but it’s the best you’ll see.
From Monday the 6th through Tuesday the 14th, it’s a total blank. We’re talking 1ft or less, and afternoons are ruined by cross-onshore winds. A few mornings are glassy or offshore, but the swell is so small it’s barely surfable. The best you get there is a dead calm afternoon on Thursday the 9th with 1ft and no wind – but it’s flat.
Around the 14th, Tuesday morning shows a tiny 1ft pulse from the west-southwest with a longer 12-second period – a bit of groundswell, but still tiny. Offshore wind from the east at 12 mph keeps it clean. Still weak.
The biggest moment is Saturday the 18th. Swell hits 3ft from the west-southwest, 8-second period, and the energy finally gets into moderate range (147). But the wind is cross-onshore from the west-northwest at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. That’s the best we get, and it’s still poor.
The only true stand-out is the morning of Sunday the 5th. It’s the cleanest you’ll see, with that offshore wind and 2ft of west swell. It’s not big, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. For beginners, that’s your window. Everyone else, wait for a better forecast.

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.
