The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days.
First up – the water temperature is sitting at 75°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s well above average, so you’ll be surfing in a warm, comfortable sea.
We’ve got a run of surfable days ahead, but the standout is hands down Saturday morning, August 29th at Les-Estagnots. That morning we’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 736 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE at just 3 mph, and the sky is clear. The waves are going to be a bit punchy for the size – that 7ft is into expert territory, so if you’ve got the skills, you’ll be in for a treat. The cross-off wind will keep the faces clean, and the water is much warmer than normal. This is the best window of the whole outlook.
Saturday afternoon the same day drops off – the wind swings to a choppy cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph, and surf quality turns poor. So make the most of the morning.
Sunday morning, August 30th – the swell drops to 5ft from the WNW, 9 seconds, energy 381 (moderate). The wind is dead calm – glassy – and the water’s still warm. It’s a solid morning for a surf, but it’s not the same size as Saturday’s peak. Still, it’s a good clean session.
Monday, August 31st is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning shows 6ft from the WNW at 9 seconds, energy 519 (moderate), but the wind is onshore and the conditions are marginal. The afternoon is similar with a cross-onshore wind. Not a day to get excited about.
Tuesday morning, September 1st – we’re back in the groove. 5ft from the WNW, 10 seconds, energy 411 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, and the sky is clear. This is another clean morning session, and the swell is a bit more manageable at 5ft, so it’s a good option for intermediate surfers too.
Wednesday morning, September 2nd – the swell drops to 3ft from the NW, 9 seconds, energy 110 (weak). The wind is glassy, but the waves are small and ordinary. Not a priority.
From Thursday, September 3rd through to Friday, September 4th, the surf is poor – small, weak, and with onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s a bit of a lull, but not a total blank.
Saturday morning, September 5th – here’s a bright spot. 3ft from the WNW at 9 seconds, energy 239 (weak), but the wind is a clean offshore from the E at 6 mph. The conditions are clean, and it’s a chance to get out on a smaller board.
Sunday morning, September 6th – a bit more punch. 4ft from the NW at 11 seconds, energy 293 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the E at 3 mph, and the sky is clear. A solid morning session.
Monday morning, September 7th – glassy again. 3ft from the NW, 9 seconds, energy 213 (weak). Clean but small.
Tuesday morning, September 8th – 4ft from the WNW, 10 seconds, energy 246 (moderate). Glassy wind from the E. Another clean morning.
From Wednesday, September 9th onwards, the swell stays small and the wind turns more onshore or cross-onshore, with poor conditions. The last week of the outlook is a slow fade – small waves, weak energy, and not much to recommend.
The bottom line: The best session is Saturday morning, August 29th – big, clean, and warm. Sunday morning, August 30th and Tuesday morning, September 1st are also solid clean options. After that, it’s a mix of small clean mornings and poor afternoons, with a couple of offshore windows around the 5th and 6th of September. But the real highlight is that first weekend.
Rusty.
