The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for this spot. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and wind-affected, so don’t get your hopes up for anything special.
The only real window of opportunity is on Sunday, September 6th, and it’s a long way off. On the morning of Sunday the 6th, we’ve got a pulse of swell from the NW pushing about 5 feet, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 108, so there’s some push behind it. The winds are light from the N, giving us a clean, cross-off shore breeze. That’s the only morning in the whole period that’s surfable, and even then the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” The water is sitting at 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Les Laurons (reef) is a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but you’re looking at a long dry spell before that Sunday the 6th. From now until then, it’s a parade of flat days or tiny, sloppy waves. From the 23rd of August all the way through to the morning of the 6th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling for. The winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is either non-existent or under 3 feet, and the energy readings are all in the single digits or low teens. A few mornings, like the 25th and 26th, have a clean look with about 2 feet from the SSE, but the periods are too short and the energy is too weak to get excited about.
The afternoon of the 6th has a bit of leftover swell at 4 feet, but the wind swings onshore from the S, killing the quality. After that, it’s back to flatness and onshore junk for the rest of the 7th. So, if you’re desperate, mark your calendar for the morning of Sunday the 6th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town. The crowds at Les Laurons can be there sometimes, so you might not have it all to yourself. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Les Laurons Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Les Laurons provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Les Laurons can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Les Laurons surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Les Laurons) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Les Laurons may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Les Laurons is 3 km (2 miles) from Lavera. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lavera. Lavera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
