Les Roquilles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get the lay of the land. The outlook for Les Roquilles over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. There’s a real gap here, nearly a full week with absolutely nothing rideable, and even when there’s a little bump, the quality is just poor.

We start off with a tough run. On Monday the 13th, it’s all onshore junk: 1 ft from the ESE and a cross-on wind. The combined energy is a measly 6, so it’s weak. The water is a full 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 77°F, which is a very unusual thing to feel. That’s about the only standout oddity. For the next few days, there are flickers of something rideable. Tuesday morning the 14th looks clean with a 2 ft SSE swell and glassy-to-light offshore NNE wind, but the energy is still tiny at 15. Wednesday morning the 15th is glassy with a 2 ft SE swell, but again, just a weak 27 of combined energy. It’s small, weak, and inconsistent.

Then from the 16th through to the 22nd, it’s mostly flat or tiny, messy waves. The combined energy numbers are in the single digits or zero. There’s a small pulse on the 18th, 2 ft from the west with a clean morning, but it’s still only 20 in energy. Not enough to get excited about. The 19th and 20th have zero swell. A real dry spell. The whole first week is a write-off for any kind of proper surf.

The end of the outlook is not much better. On the 27th, there’s a 2 ft swell from the west, with a clean morning and offshore NE wind, combined energy of 22. That’s the best the whole 16 days has to offer. But it’s a tiny, weak wave, and it’s on a beach break setup. For a beginner, it might be a fun, small day. For anyone else, it’s a frustratingly small window. The 28th has a tiny 1 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes onshore in the afternoon. No real standout sessions here.

To be honest, the whole 16-day window is a hard pass. The swell is almost non-existent, the energy is consistently weak, and the waves are too small to do much with. If you’re a kite surfer, there might be a few afternoons with a bit of cross-on breeze, but for a paddle surfer, the forecast is a blank. This is one of those stretches where the area goes quiet, and it’s more normal than not.
