The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Les Roquilles. There’s no real surf to get excited about here. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for quality waves. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of swell, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed.
Let’s start with what’s happening. The water temperature right now is sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real standout—way above normal, so you’ll be in for a warm paddle if you do go in, but the waves just aren’t there to back it up.
The whole first week is a flat spell. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of the month, we’ve got nothing but tiny, weak swells. The combined energy is almost non-existent, mostly single-digit values (like 4, 9, 18, 10), which is about as weak as it gets. The swell height rarely creeps above 1 ft, and the periods are short, usually 4 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell at best, and it’s not going to wrap in with any power.
The only minor flicker of life comes on Monday the 24th of August. The morning shows a little 3 ft swell from the ESE with a 4-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NE at 15 km/h, so it’d be clean. But the combined energy is still only 22, so it’s weak. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 4 ft from the SE, but the wind swings onshore from the SE at 20 km/h, making it choppy and messy. That’s a short window for a knee-high, weak wave, and it’s not really a standout.
After that, the end of August and start of September is just more of the same—tiny, poor surf conditions with small swells and onshore or cross-shore winds. The biggest swell we see is a 4 ft from the S on Sunday the 30th of August, but combined with a strong breeze from the SSE at 40 km/h, that’s going to be a total mess, more suited to kite surfing than paddle surfing. The energy climbs to 75, but with that wind, it’s not surfable.
Honestly, Les Roquilles is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, and this run is a perfect example of why. There’s just nothing on offer. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the early morning of Monday the 24th might give you a tiny, clean wave, but don’t drive far for it. This is a blank stretch for the whole 16 days.

Information about the Les Roquilles Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Les Roquilles provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Les Roquilles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Les Roquilles 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 Roquilles) 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 Roquilles 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.
