Les Laurons Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking like a proper flat spell for this spot. There’s no standout surf on offer, and honestly, not one session I’d point you toward. Let’s break it down, but don’t get your hopes up.

The only break in the picture is Les Laurons, a reef setup that’s beginner-friendly and fairly consistent, but the swell just isn’t showing up. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.

We kick off Wednesday, July 8th, with a tiny 1.0 ft to 2 ft of weak, short-period swell from the SW and W, and a cross-shore breeze that’s got the surface chopped up. The combined energy is a measly 2 to 7, so it’s flat and messy. Thursday and Friday, July 9th and 10th, are similar—0.7 ft to 1 ft of swell, energy barely hitting 14, and the wind is either cross-off or cross, but it’s still tiny and weak. Saturday morning, July 11th, goes completely flat with zero energy, and the rest of the weekend offers nothing but 0.3 ft dribble with a bit of a glassy moment Sunday morning, but it’s not worth paddling out for.

The first week of the forecast is a write-off. We’ve got a long gap of flat, small, and poor-quality surf that stretches from now through to the second week. There’s a tiny bump on July 17th, a Friday morning, where the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The energy is only 31, so it’s weak and unappealing. That afternoon the wind picks up to 25 mph, and it’s just ugly. This setup, with the wind and small swell on a reef, isn’t even worth a look for kiting—it’s just poor.

The rest of the second week, from July 18th to the 23rd, is a mix of flat days, 0.3 ft to 2 ft swell, and strong cross-shore winds that keep the surface lumpy. There’s a moment on the morning of July 21st where the swell hits 4 ft from the NW—the biggest of the whole run—but the wind is light cross-onshore, and the energy is only 40. It’s still poor conditions, and the swell direction is WNW, not the optimum WSW for Les Laurons, so it’s not going to line up well. The final days, July 22nd and 23rd, go completely flat again.

There’s not a single standout session here. The best you’ll get is a few glassy mornings with 1.0 ft to 1 ft of weak swell, but even then, it’s hardly surfable. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough run, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the board in the shed.

Rusty.
