The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty grim run ahead for Les Laurons. This is a beginner-friendly reef break that’s exposed to a WSW swell, but honestly, for the next 16 days, you’ll be fighting a losing battle with the wind and the waves. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
For the next week, from Monday the 17th through to Sunday the 23rd, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking tiny, soft waves with hardly any energy – most of the time the combined energy is barely getting into double digits (6, 10, 52), and the wind is either cross, cross-on, or onshore. Nothing is clean. Conditions stay poor all week. A few spots on the 23rd show some lighter ESE winds in the morning, but with a swell of just 0.7ft, it's barely a ripple.
The following week kicks off Monday the 24th with an offshore breeze and a tiny 0.3ft swell. Clean, sure, but you’d need a lake paddle board. The only time we see any real size is on Tuesday the 25th, when a 6ft SE swell rolls in with moderate combined energy (231). The problem? The wind is WNW at 12 mph and cross-on, making it choppy and messy. This surge hangs around into Wednesday the 26th with 5ft from the NW, but the wind is a strong 28 mph cross-shore – just ugly conditions. Not for beginners, experts will be disappointed, and honestly, with that wind and swell combo, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We then go into another lull for the rest of that week and the weekend, with flat spells on the 29th and nothing of note. The very last day in the window, Monday the 1st of September, sees a 5ft NW swell with moderate energy (117), but again, it’s crossed-up by a fresh breeze. No real standouts here, folks. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the morning of the 24th and the 23rd, but the swell is basically flat. This is a rough stretch.

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.

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.
