The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve looked at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch for the waves around here.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple on offer. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until late in the outlook. For the first week and a half, from Wednesday the 5th of August right through to Friday the 14th of August, it’s a flat, sad story. The swell energy is so weak it barely registers, with values like 1 or 9 (weak energy), and the occasional 16 (weak energy). The only spot we’ve got to consider is Les Roquilles, and it’s not exactly pumping. It’s an inconsistent beginner-friendly break, and it’s often crowded when there’s anything to surf. The water is a balmy 79°, which is a hefty 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual, you could almost leave the steamer at home.
The first little blip of something rideable comes on the morning of Friday the 14th of August. A tiny 2 ft swell from the west (5-second period) with a light cross-shore breeze. The combined energy is just 13 (weak energy). It’s not going to be earth-shattering, but it’s the first sign of life. The morning of Saturday the 15th of August offers a slightly better 3 ft from the WSW (5-second period), with a gentle offshore NNE wind – that’s a major positive, meaning clean little faces. The energy is 29 (weak energy). It’s still tiny, but for a beginner or a longboarder, it might be the only game in town.
The best of the lot, and I mean the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, comes on the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the west (5-second period) with a tidy cross-offshore NW wind, making it clean. The combined energy sits at 24 (weak energy). It’s not a big wave by any stretch, but for this stretch of flatness, it’s the best on offer. The wind is right, the swell direction is workable for Les Roquilles. It’s not a day to get excited about, but it’s a day to get wet.
Beyond that, the afternoon of Monday the 17th of August shows a similar 3 ft from the WSW (4-second period) with a light cross-offshore NNW wind, giving a clean surface. The energy is 17 (weak energy). It’s a repeat of the same small, clean conditions. After that, it looks like we drift back into tiny, poor surf again.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the mornings of the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th of August are your best bets. The rest of the time, the beach is better for a picnic than a surf. The setup at Les Roquilles with these tiny, weak swells and light winds is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on most days. Keep your eyes on the long-range, but for now, patience is the name of the game.
Rusty.

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.

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.
