The Lowdown
Alright, team, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up about the next two weeks for Les Roquilles. I’ve scanned the charts and honestly, it’s a tough outlook. The break is inconsistent and mostly exposed to swells from the south-southeast, but the energy just isn’t lining up with the winds. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions to start, with only a flicker of hope way down the line.
For the first week, from Saturday the 15th right through to Thursday the 20th, the wave energy is a pathetic two digits at best – we’re talking a combined energy of just 2 to 10 (2 to 10). Swell heights are tiny, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft from the south or west, with short, weak periods of 3 to 4 seconds. It’s lifeless. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 81°F, much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a weird bonus if you’re just floating, but there’s nothing to ride. Glassy conditions on Saturday morning with a light north wind might look tempting, but with only 1 ft of swell, you’re just bobbing. For the rest of that week and into the next, most afternoons get chopped up by onshore breezes. Don’t bother.
Friday the 21st sees a tiny uptick. By the morning, we get a weak 4 ft swell from the west (period 4 seconds) with a combined energy of just 46 (46). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s not blown out, but those waves are weak and gutless. The afternoon stays similar at 3 ft but with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze from the north-northwest. If you are desperate, this is your best day in the first eight, but keep your expectations on the floor. For a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this is barely a ripple.
Then we hit another dead zone. Saturday the 22nd through to Monday the 24th is almost entirely flat, with periods of zero energy and only the occasional 1 ft to 3 ft bump that gets hammered by onshore or strong cross-onshore winds, especially Monday morning with that fresh southeast breeze. It’s ugly. Tuesday the 25th morning brings back a 4 ft west-northwest swell (period 4 seconds, energy 38) with a clean cross-offshore wind, but again, it’s short-period, sloppy, and the break is prone to inconsistency. Both afternoon and the next few days are flat again with zero energy.
The *only* potential standout in this whole 16-day window is Sunday the 30th. That morning, a new south-southeast groundswell is forecast at 3 ft (period 4 seconds), with a combined energy of 22 (22). The wind turns offshore from the north-northeast at 19 mph, which will clean it up nicely. That’s your one morning to maybe, just maybe, get a few rideable runners. But period is short at 4 seconds, and this spot needs a solid, long-period SSE swell to really work. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind. That’s it. One morning in two weeks.
Crowds are “often” at Les Roquilles, but with quality this low, you’ll likely have it to yourself. The setup is a beach break, and with these tiny, weak swells, it’s going to be a frustrating paddle for next to no reward. Honestly, with the consistent wind but poor wave quality, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period.
Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

Information about the Les Roquilles Surf forecast

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.
