The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's read the tea leaves for Les Laurons. This is a reef break that likes a WSW swell, but the next couple of weeks look pretty slow. The water is a balmy 79°, which is way warmer than average for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice even if the waves aren't.
From now and through the first week, it's mostly flat. Days like Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th offer nothing. Thursday the 13th is the same story, and the weekend only shows tiny, weak bumps. The wind is mostly light, keeping the water clean, but there's no energy to work with.
We’ve got a long gap with no real rideable swell. The first real change comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. That morning, a little west swell shows up at 4ft with a 6-second period. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NE, so it'll be clean. The energy is moderate (146), but honestly, it's still pretty weak and ordinary. The afternoon shrinks back down.
After that, it's back to the flat spell. The next chance is Monday the 24th of August, when a messy SSE pulse hits at 4ft with a 7-second period. The energy is moderate (125), but the wind is screaming from the NW at 28 mph, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a surfing one.
Tuesday the 25th of August morning shapes up a bit better. We get 3ft from the SSE with a 5-second period and a cross-offshore wind, so it'll be clean. It's not great, but it's rideable for a beginner. The afternoon turns glassy with a 4ft SW swell. That's honestly the pick of the whole run – clean, small, and workable.
Wednesday the 26th morning looks glassy too, with 3ft from the WNW, but the period is only 4 seconds. It's a dribbler.
So, the standout is that Tuesday, August 25th, with the glassy afternoon conditions. If you're learning, that's your shot. For the rest of us, it's a long stretch of flatness. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd keep the board in the car and the expectations low.
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.
