The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a straight-up look at the waves ahead for this part of the world. Gotta be honest with you, it's gonna be a pretty grim stretch.
We're looking at a real flat spell. The first bit of any real surf won't show up until Tuesday the 25th of August, so we've got a long dry gap with nothing on offer before that. The water is sitting at 80.8°, which is 7.7° warmer than it should be for this time of year—that's a big red flag, feels more like bathwater than the ocean.
The only break on the cards is Les Roquilles. It's a beginner spot, but it's inconsistent and tends to get crowded. For the first four days, there's simply no swell, just tiny, weak dribble. The wind is mostly clean, but there's nothing to ride.
Things finally try to wake up on Tuesday the 25th of August. That morning, we get a pulse of swell at 4.9ft from the SE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, so it'll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (160). It's not a high-quality wave, but for this stretch, it's the best we're going to see. It might be a bit much for total beginners at that size, but the clean surface will make it look better than it is.
After that, it falls apart again. The wind swings onshore and the swell gets messy and chopped out for the rest of the week. The rest of the outlook into early September is a bust—tiny swell, poor conditions, or flat spells. Don't get your hopes up.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday 25th of August morning at Les Roquilles. It's a short window of clean, 4.9ft surf from the SE. Go early to beat the likely crowd, but don't expect much.

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.
