The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for this stretch of coast.
We’ve got a pretty quiet start. For the first week or so, it’s mostly a write-off. You’ll see a few small bumps in the water, but the wind is a mess and the energy is just not there. Nothing worth getting excited about until we get into the end of July.
The highlight of the whole outlook is Les-Estagnots. It’s an exposed beach break, set up for swell from the west. Now, the water’s sitting at a balmy 76°, which is a whopping 6.3° warmer than usual for the time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’re in for a bath.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, 29 July. The morning shows a moderate swell starting to build with 3.6ft of NW swell at 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 268. The wind is light and onshore from the west, which isn't ideal, but there’s potential. It’s just flagged as marginal, though, so don't get your hopes too high.
Things get interesting on Wednesday, 30 July. The morning has 4.3ft of NW swell at 11 seconds, with combined energy kicking up to 368. That’s moderate, but getting stronger. The wind is onshore from the west again, keeping it from being a classic. But there's some size. Afternoon sees a similar 3.9ft swell at 10 seconds, with energy at 324. Still cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit lumpy. This is still only for experts – anything over 5ft can get tricky, and the onshore wind won't help the shape.
The best chance for clean waves looks to be Sunday, 2 August. The morning brings a light offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph, with a 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds. Combined energy is 144, so it’s light, but that offshore wind is a massive plus. It’ll be clean. The afternoon sees a cross-offshore breeze from the northeast, keeping things tidy with 2.6ft NW swell. This is the standout of the whole run: a small, clean, and surfable window. The water temperature by then? Well, the anomaly isn't given for those days, but that warm patch might have stuck around.
It's a long haul to get there. From the 19th of July, you’re looking at a solid 10 days of nothing to recommend. Then a few days of marginal, building swell before that tiny payoff on the 2nd of August.
Stay patient, lads.
