Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at Les Dunes.

Honestly, the next few days are a bit of a struggle. We've got a lot of small, weak swell with poor wind, making it hard to get excited. There are a few windows of opportunity, but nothing to write home about until later.

The standout session in the entire forecast is Monday the 21st. We've got clean, glassy conditions in the morning with a light offshore breeze. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the West with a long 14-second period, giving it real energy (429 combined energy). This will be the best the break looks all period. It's a fairly consistent spot, so you can expect some fun ones. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Before that, there are a few other moments. Friday morning the 18th looks interesting on paper, with a 4 ft swell and clean cross-off wind, but the energy is a very strong 381, and the forecast warns it might actually be too big for this beginner-friendly break. Same for Friday afternoon when a massive 5 ft groundswell with a 16-second period and 991 combined energy rolls in – that's expert territory only, and it's breaking too straight for the beach setup.

The rest of the first week is pretty bleak. Small swells under 3 ft, cross or onshore winds, and weak energy. Tuesday the 22nd morning has a little 2 ft swell with offshore wind, but it's tiny and not worth paddling out for.

After the 21st, the surf dries up fast. From Wednesday the 23rd all the way through to Sunday the 29th, the swell drops to 1.0 ft - 2 ft. The wind is clean and offshore, but there's barely any wave energy (values from 23 to 82 combined energy). It's just not doing anything. That's a solid week of flatness. The last glimmer is Sunday afternoon the 27th, with 1 ft from the West, but again, not enough to get wet for.

So the play is clear: if you can, get out on Monday morning the 21st. That's the one. The rest is a waiting game.
