The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Les Laurons over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell, and it's going to be a real test of patience. The first week and a half are basically a write-off. From Thursday the 13th right through to the end of Thursday the 20th, there’s just nothing with any real push. The combined wave energy barely registers, mostly sitting between 0 and 11 (weak energy). It’s a frustrating stretch of knee-high dribble and glassy but completely flat conditions. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell, but it happens.
The first sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday the 21st of August. A pulse of swell finally arrives from the NW, bumping the wave height to 5ft. The combined energy jumps to 114 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph. By the afternoon, it's a cross-onshore blow from the WNW at 16 mph, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. The swell period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s a weak, wind-driven chop. This one is a miss for the paddle crew; with that kind of wind and a beach-reef setup, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surf.
The morning of Saturday the 22nd sees the swell drop back to 3ft with a short period, and the wind is still a messy cross-shore. Not worth getting excited about.
After that, it’s right back into the doldrums. From the 23rd through to the end of the period on the 28th, the swell is tiny and weak, with energy readings barely cracking 20-30 (weak to low-moderate energy). The water temperature on the morning of the 13th was a very unusual 80°, which is a full 6° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a tropical anomaly, but it doesn’t help the waves.
So, to sum it up: there are no standout days in this outlook. The only window with any size is that Friday the 21st, but the wind ruins it. It’s a waiting game, but this spot tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes on the charts.
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.
