The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Les Douaniers is a tough one to call. The forecast shows a real flat spell with very little to get excited about.
The water is a scorching 83°F, which is a massive 9°F above the norm for this time of year – that’s unusual, feels more like a bath than the ocean.
The immediate outlook is pretty grim. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of swell, but nothing that’s going to make a proper wave. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at a measly 64 on Friday afternoon, with a 3ft SSW swell and a short 6-second period, plus a cross-on wind making it choppy and poor. Conditions stay like this through the weekend. Saturday morning sees a 2ft SSW swell and a clean offshore wind, but the energy is only 36 – it’s just not enough. The whole first week is a write-off; we’re looking at waves below 2ft and days with absolutely zero surf.
There’s a long, dry gap from the 24th of August right through to the 4th of September. The 5th of September shows a 1ft glassy morning, but that’s about it.
The only real standout – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Friday, the 4th of September. We might see a 2ft SSW swell with a 5-second period, and the wind is looking glassy. The combined energy is a weak 23, so it’s not powerful, but it’s the best we’ll see. For a reef break, you need a bit more push, and this is small. The direction is from the south, which is the optimum for this spot, but with such a weak pulse, it’s going to be a low-energy, highly inconsistent session. Crowds are possible here, but with this lack of swell, I doubt anyone will be out.
Honestly, this spot is inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. We just have to wait for a better system to show up. There’s not much else to say.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Les Douaniers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Douaniers 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.
