Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial units:

Alright, let’s talk Les Dunes. Water’s sitting at 69°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year—not a big deal, but you’ll feel it if you’re used to the fall chill. This is a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, but the next week and a half is a grind. Swell stays small and messy, and the wind keeps playing games. The only real standout comes Wednesday the 9th in the morning, and that’s your window.

Right now, Sunday morning the 6th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, and a light cross-off from the ESE. It’s clean-ish, but energy is weak (117). You can paddle out, but don’t expect much. Sunday afternoon turns onshore and drops to 2ft—skip it.

Monday the 7th brings a bit more size—3ft in the morning with a 15-second period, energy jumps to 454, but the wind is cross-on from the west at 10 km/h (6 mph), so it’s lumpy. Afternoon gets to 4ft but it’s cross-on and choppy (665). Not great.

Tuesday the 8th is a wash—4ft in the morning with onshore SW wind, then 4ft in the afternoon with a fresh 35 km/h (22 mph) SSW blow and light rain. Ugly.

Wednesday the 9th morning is the one. Swell comes up to 5ft from the WNW, period drops to 8 seconds, but energy is solid at 556. Wind is cross from the NW at 20 km/h (12 mph), so it’s a bit bumpy, but the tide and wind are favorable. That’s the best we get—though 5ft is pushing it for beginners, so if you’re not solid, sit this one out. Afternoon fades to 4ft and the cross wind returns.

Thursday the 10th morning has a glassy spell—wind drops to 5 km/h (3 mph) from the WSW, and it’s flat-ish at 2ft (96 energy). Surfable, but weak. Afternoon is onshore and small.

Friday the 11th morning is onshore with 3ft and a short 8-second period—not worth it. Afternoon is 4ft but cross-on and choppy.

Saturday the 12th morning is calm and glassy, but the swell is only 3ft with an 8-second period (76 energy). Little waves, no push.

From the 13th through the 21st, it’s a long stretch of waist-high stuff—consistently around 2ft to 3ft, with periods mostly 9–12 seconds. Mornings often have clean offshore or cross-off winds (NE, E, N, or NNE), which is nice, but energy is usually under 200. Swell direction is always from the west or WNW, matching the optimum, but there’s just no size. Best of that weak bunch is the 16th morning (NE offshore at 15 km/h / 9 mph, 2ft, 10 seconds, 121) and the 17th morning (NE offshore, 3ft, 173). Clean, but tiny.

Bottom line: the only true standout is Wednesday the 9th morning—5ft WNW with moderate energy and a cross wind. After that, it’s a long flat spell. For a beginner spot, the lack of size is fine, but don’t expect any juice. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings around the 12th and 14th give you something, but it’s more of a foam ball session. If the wind stays offshore, it’ll be clean, but there’s no power. Unless you’re a longboarder or a learner, the calendar’s looking empty until the next system. Forecasts change, though—this spot doesn’t stay this quiet for long.
