The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Les Roquilles for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—this is a grim outlook. The whole 16-day window is essentially a bust for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, empty stretch ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right now and for the next week and a half, the waves are tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are mostly messy. The water’s a balmy 82°F, which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year—unusual stuff. But none of that matters when the swell is barely a ripple. You’re looking at heights mostly below 2ft with periods so short they’re barely worth paddling for. The combined swell energy sits in the low single digits or teens, which is just sad. Winds are all over the place—cross, cross-off, onshore—none of it good enough to turn this junk into something rideable. The break itself is inconsistent and only really works with swell from the SSE, and we’re not seeing anything close to that.
Around Friday, August 28th, things get a little interesting, but it’s still not a recommendation. We get a pulse of 6ft to 7ft from the south with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short period windswell, not the good stuff. The combined energy jumps up to moderate levels, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” Winds are clean in the morning but swing onshore in the afternoon. That swell is going to be all chop and closeouts, and at 7ft, it’s only for experts—if anyone’s game to paddle out into that mess. For beginners, it’s a hard pass.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in the next 16 days. It’s a blank run, and for an inconsistent spot like Les Roquilles, that’s not super unusual. The energy just isn’t there, and the swell direction never lines up. Sometimes you just gotta wait for the next cold front or a shift in the wind. Forecasts can change, so we keep watching, but for now? Leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
