The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk surf for Les Roquilles.
Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window is an absolute dud. There’s not a single standout session in the whole run. The forecast shows nothing but small, weak, and messy surf, with hardly any energy to get excited about. We’ve got a long, flat gap stretching from now right through to around Tuesday the 25th of August, with only tiny knee-high slop and barely any swell. After that, we get a bit of a pulse mid-week, but it’s accompanied by strong winds and lumpy conditions that won’t do anyone any favours.
Let’s start with the water temp, since it’s worth a mention: at 82°F, that’s a massive 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, like swimming in a bath.
The first real event arrives on Tuesday morning the 25th of August. A WNW swell pushes up to 6ft, with a short period of just 6 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. The combined energy hits 209, which is moderate, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the WNW, creating a lumpy cross-chop. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. Tuesday afternoon drops to 5ft, period 5 seconds, energy 115, with similar lumpy cross-shore winds at 22 mph. Not great for surfing.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak dribble through to the end of the month. A few mornings offer clean conditions with offshore breezes, but the swell is barely ankle-high—0.3ft to 1ft, with energies of just 1 to 5. Not worth paddling out.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing here for surfers in the next 16 days. If you’re desperate, the 25th has some size but the wind and chop ruin it. Otherwise, you’re better off waiting for a better forecast.

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.
