Rusty here again. Let’s keep it simple: for the next couple weeks, Les Conches is mostly flat and messy. We’ve got a long gap with next to no surf until a small window shows up way out on Saturday, July 18th.
Saturday the 18th, in the morning: you’ll see a 0.6m swell from the west, with a 11-second period – a nice little groundswell. Combined energy is moderate at 125. The wind will be light easterly offshore, so the surface should be clean. That’s your best bet for the whole period, though the notes say it’s “surfable but very ordinary.” Keep expectations in check.
The afternoon of the 18th goes onshore and rough. Then Monday the 20th of July has more size – 0.9m to 1.0m – but a fresh cross-onshore wind at 35 km/h spoils it. That combo of moderate energy (149 to 168) and strong side-wind makes it more of a kite session than a surf session.
Most other days have tiny swell (wave energy from 9 to 82) and shifting winds. The water is 21°, a touch warmer than normal. This spot can get crowded sometimes, but with this outlook it’ll be near empty.
So, Saturday morning the 18th is the only real hope. It’s a long-range call, so don’t bet the farm. Forecasts can shift. Hang tight.
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.
