The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat, let’s talk about the surf for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf, and most of the time, the conditions are going to be messy and blown out. I’m not seeing anything that gets my heart racing for a good while.
The water is hanging in there at a super warm 82° at the start, which is notably warmer than usual for this time of year. You won’t need much more than a spring suit, if that.
Looking at the first real day of the period, August 18th, it’s not good. There’s a weak, short-period swell from the WNW around 4ft, but the northwest wind is howling at 22 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-shore mess. The wave energy is weak at 63. Not worth the paddle out.
The rest of the week just kind of fades away. The swell drops right off and the wind stays mostly cross-shore or onshore. Friday the 21st has a tiny bump of 4ft from the SSW in the afternoon, and the wind is light offshore, which cleans the surface up. But it’s short-period and only showing weak energy at 90, so I wouldn’t call it a standout – more like a chance for a few pushy closeouts for the dedicated.
Through August 25th, there's another pulse of energy, but again it comes with a fresh, lumpy cross-shore wind from the NNW at 22 mph. It’ll be too messy to be fun. After that, it’s essentially dead until the end of the month. There are a few days with clean, offshore light winds, but no swell to speak of. A bit of a tease.
Even into the first days of September, the second week of the forecast, it stays weak. There’s maybe a touch more wind on the 31st, but it’s all still under 2ft. Everything is just too small to get excited about.
So for this 16-day stretch, there’s no real standout option. We’ve got a long gap of almost nothing, and the one or two days that do have a little bit of energy are marred by bad wind. It’s a testing time for patience, for sure. This is one of those periods where you might be better off keeping the board in the car and going for a drive.

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.
