The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real right from the start: we've got a grim 16-day run ahead of us at Les Conches. The surf is basically a no-show, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The whole forecast period is a write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. We're looking at a solid two weeks with absolutely no worthwhile surf on offer.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the first week, are just a mess. We're looking at swell heights barely ticking over 2 ft, and the wind is a constant problem. The combined energy is almost non-existent, sitting at a pathetic 36 (weak energy) on Tuesday morning. It's a classic case of small, messy, and onshore. The water temp is a pretty average 69°F for this time of year, so that's not going to be your saving grace either.
The whole of the second week offers no hope. The swell is essentially flat, with heights dropping to 0.7 ft or 1.0 ft. Even when we get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Sunday morning the 9th, the swell is so tiny it's unrideable. The wind is all over the place, but mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short, meaning the waves have no push. The combined energy levels are laughable, sometimes as low as 5 (weak energy). There's just no energy in the water.
There is a slight glimmer on Monday morning the 17th with glassy conditions and a tiny 1 ft swell, but it's still a beginner-level wave at best and the energy is only 20 (weak energy). The afternoon immediately ruins it with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. To be honest, with the persistent onshore winds and gutless swell, the setup at Les Conches looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so cross your fingers for the next forecast update, but for now, leave the board in the shed.

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.
