The Lowdown
Alright, let me start with a look at the overall picture. The next 16 days are a proper struggle for Les Conches. It’s going to be a long, flat spell with very little to get excited about.
Right now, Tuesday the 21st of July, we've got a tiny 0.6ft swell from the west with a moderate offshore breeze. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 71°, about 3° above average for this time of year. But honestly, the energy is next to nothing with a combined energy of just (10). It’s not really surfable.
Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of July is a real drought. The swell stays tiny, rarely reaching 0.6ft, and the wind is mostly offshore or light, but there's just no power in the water. The afternoon of Saturday the 25th sees a jump in size to 5ft from the west-northwest, but that comes with a nasty 45 km/h cross-onshore wind. The combined energy hits (145), which is moderate, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is ruining any chance of a clean wave. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the first week and into the start of August is poor. The best we see is a tiny 2ft from the west on Tuesday the 28th of July morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the combined energy is only (40). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Then we hit another flat spell right through to the 1st of August.
We finally get a pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The swell picks up to 3ft from the west-northwest with a combined energy of (65). The period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it's going to be a bit choppy. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only thing that’s even close to interesting in the entire window. After that, it drops back to flat and messy.
Honestly, this is a tough run. The consistency is poor, and there’s no real standout session. If you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience, the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July might give you a few grovelly ones, but don’t expect much.

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.
