The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks.
It’s looking pretty bleak for the Les Laurons (reef) area. The whole 16-day forecast is a big fat zero for decent surf. There’s a long stretch of nothing, so if you’re hopin’ to get wet, you’re gonna be disappointed.
The water temps are a warm 80° – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, nearly 9° above average, which is pretty wild. But the waves are just not there.
From Saturday the 18th through the 25th of July, it’s a constant battle of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. You’re looking at waves mostly 1ft or less, with a short, weak period of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, all under 35, and it’s mostly cross or cross-on wind keeping it choppy and ugly. Not worth the effort.
Friday the 24th of July morning is the only time the swell pushes up a bit, to 5ft from the NNW, with a combined energy of 133 (moderate). The wind turns cross-offshore and clean. But the period is still a short 5 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. The score says poor conditions, so don’t get excited.
Then Sunday the 26th of July morning sees the biggest swell of the window – 6ft from the W, period 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 328 (strong). But it’s a lumpy, cross-shore mess with 19 mph winds, making it choppy and tough. That’s big enough for a beginner to be in trouble, but not clean enough for an expert.
The rest of the run into August is just tiny dribbles – 1ft or less – with onshore or cross winds, and a lot of flat spells (zero energy). It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
If you’re a kiter, the bigger, windier days around the 26th might be more interesting, but for a surfer, this is a total dud. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a stay-at-home kinda fortnight.
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.
