The Lowdown
Alright, it’s a rough one for us here. Les Laurons is a reef break that needs a good WSW swell to work, but this whole 16-day window is skinny and messy. The truth is, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for until late in the second week, and even then it’s marginal.
From the end of August into early September, the swell is tiny—most days under 2ft, with combined wave energy so low it’s barely a whisper. Water temp is around 75°, a touch warmer than normal, but that’s the only nice thing.
The first real chance shows up on Thursday September 3rd morning, with a NNW swell to 4ft, but period is just 5 seconds, so it’s weak and short. A strong cross breeze at 28 mph chops it up. That afternoon turns glassy, but drops to 2ft—clean but miniscule.
Friday September 4th afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft NW swell, same short period, low energy. Clean and tiny. Could be a fun longboard wave if you’re bored.
The most surf you’ll see is around Monday September 8th morning and afternoon. Morning: 4ft NW, choppy cross wind. Afternoon: 4ft NNW, combined energy 93 (moderate), but the wind is cross at 16 mph, so it’s lumpy. Not clean.
After that, it flatlines. By Wednesday September 10th and Thursday 11th, there’s nothing: zero energy.
If I had to pick the best, it’s Friday September 4th afternoon: glassy, 3ft NW swell. Small, clean, and manageable. Crowds are possible here, but on a day that small, it’ll be quiet. Best for beginners and cruisers looking for a smooth ride.
Wave energy never breaks 100 across the whole run, so it’s weak overall. With those strong cross winds earlier in the first week, the setup might be better for a kite than a paddle.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
