Les Roquilles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. I’m lookin’ at Les Roquilles for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run. This spot is a beginner break, inconsistent, and often crowded when there’s anything rideable – but that’s not the problem here. The problem is there’s almost no surf worth paddling out for.

The water’s weirdly warm too – we’re talking 79°F on the morning of the 16th, which is a massive 9°F above normal for this time of year. That’s unusual, but it doesn’t help the waves one bit.

We’ve got a long, dry spell from the start all the way through the 28th. Days and days of flat or tiny, junk swell with poor conditions. Sure, there are a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but the swell is either non-existent or so small – like 0.7 ft, 1.0 ft – that it’s not even worth dragging a board out. The combined energy barely registers, mostly single digits.

Then, finally, on the morning of the 29th, we get a little pulse. A 4 ft swell from the south, period 5 seconds – that’s short period, so it’s gonna be weak and a bit fat. Combined energy hits 113 (moderate) but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Winds are offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, glassy clean. That’s the only window in the whole forecast. The optimum direction for Les Roquilles is SSE, so this south swell is a bit off, but at least it’s something. Keep in mind this break is inconsistent and often crowded, so if you’re gonna go, get there early. Even then, it’s only beginner-friendly stuff – 4 ft is fine for learners, but the period is short, so don’t expect much push.

After that morning, it’s back to flat or poor conditions again. The 30th and 31st offer small, weak swells but with onshore or cross-shore winds that ruin any chance of quality.

So, bottom line: one morning – 29 July – that’s your only real shot, and it’s very ordinary. If you’re desperate, maybe you’ll find a few ankle-biters. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for nothing.
