The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. There’s not a single surf recommendation to be found. The whole window is just one long stretch of poor surf conditions, with no real waves to get excited about.
We’re looking at Les Laurons, a reef break that’s usually fairly consistent, but it’s gone quiet. The water is running at a very unusual 81°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year—more than 9 degrees above average. That’s a real head-scratcher, but it doesn’t help with the waves.
From Monday the 20th through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the wind is all over the place—cross, cross-on, and cross-off, with a few clean moments but nothing to ride. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with values like 2, 1, and 3 (weak energy). There’s a slight bump on Wednesday the 22nd morning with a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is a fresh breeze and the overall energy is still low (54). It’s just not enough.
The only real pulse comes around Sunday the 26th, where we see a 4 ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 109 (moderate) in the morning and 136 in the afternoon. But the wind is cross and cross-on, churning up the surface. It’s messy, and the conditions are labeled as poor. That might be a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.
Monday the 27th sees similar 4 ft to 5 ft swell from the WNW, but again, the wind is fresh cross-onshore and lumpy. The energy is around 98-102 (moderate), but the quality is just not there.
After that, it drops off again. The first week of August shows nothing but flat spells with zero energy or tiny 1 ft to 3 ft swells, all with poor surf conditions. The wind does turn offshore on Friday the 31st morning with a light breeze from the NE and a 2 ft SW swell, but it’s still too small to get excited about.
So, what’s the takeaway? There are no standout days, no best options. This is a blank run for the area. It happens. The forecast can always change, but for now, the board stays on the rack. Hang in there.
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.
