Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm gutted to tell you, there's absolutely nothing worth paddling out for at Les Dunes over the next 16 days. The whole forecast window is a write-off, with every single time slot flagged as poor surf conditions. It's a grim run, but sometimes that's just how it goes in this neck of the woods—a long blank stretch like this isn't unheard of. The good news is, it tends not to stay this flat for long, and forecasts can always change, so don't toss the board in the shed just yet.

Looking at the little bumps that do show up, they're all tiny. From Friday 31 July right through to Saturday 15 August, the swell height barely ever touches 3 ft, and the combined wave energy is mostly weak, with the highest reading just hitting 132 (moderate) on Saturday 8 August. The wind is a mess too—mostly cross or cross-onshore, gusty, and often choppy. There's a brief moment on Sunday 9 August where the swell jumps to 6 ft (WSW) with a 9-second period and moderate wave energy (606), but it's cross-on and the wind is onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. That same day, the swell is actually predicted to be too big for Les Dunes, which is a beginner spot, so it's a no-go for most.

The only halfway decent conditions pop up on Sunday 2 August morning, with a gentle offshore wind (ENE) and clean surf on a 1 ft, 8-second W swell. But the energy is a measly 31, so you'd be scratching for scraps. The same goes for Friday 7 August morning—another offshore (NE) with clean lines, but again just 1.0 ft of W swell and 36 energy. It's not surf, it's a lake ripple.

Water temperature sits at 69°F on Friday 31 July, which is about normal for this time of year, but it won't help make the tiny waves any more fun.

So, no standouts, no highlights, just a whole lot of flat and messy. Hang tight, mate. The ocean will come back to life eventually.
