The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – for Les Roquilles, this 16-day run is about as flat as a week-old beer. There ain’t a single day in the whole window where the surf is worth paddling out for. The best we see is some tiny dribble, not enough to push a log across, and even that comes with its own problems. The whole stretch from the 11th of August right through to the 26th is a write-off for proper waves.
Starting Tuesday the 11th, we’ve got nothing. Tiny 0.2m south swell with a short 5-second period, and a combined energy of just 4 – that’s weaker than a kitten’s sneeze. The wind is cross, so it’s chopped up, and the water temp is sitting at 27°, which is a massive 4° warmer than normal – feels like a bath, but you’ll be floating, not surfing. Wednesday and Thursday are dead calm with offshore breezes but absolutely zero swell. Friday, Saturday, Sunday… all the same story. Small, weak pulses from the SSW, maybe 0.2m to 0.3m, periods of 3-4 seconds, and combined energy barely hitting 3. You’ll spend more time sitting there than catching anything.
We get a brief moment of potential on the 18th of August, Tuesday. A 1.4m swell from the west with a 5-second period – that’s short-period windswell, not a groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 89 (still moderate but on the low end), but with rain showers and a cross-wind, it’s messy. The next day, Wednesday the 19th, brings a clean 20 km/h offshore from the NNE, but the swell drops back to 0.6m. You’d be fighting the wind for a bump. Then it’s back to tiny dribble for the rest of the week.
Saturday the 22nd has a small 0.4m south swell with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 9, and a light cross-onshore breeze. Not worth the walk. The best-looking wind conditions come on Wednesday the 26th of August, when it goes glassy flat with 0.4m of swell and a combined energy of 8. That’s a lake, not a surf break.
There are no standouts here. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a blank run that’s fairly normal for the area. If you’re desperate for something to do, maybe bring a kiteboard for the 18th, because paddle surfing just isn’t on the menu. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d find another hobby.
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. 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.
Les Roquilles is 7 km (4 miles) from Lattes. If you plan a holiday in Languedoc-Roussillon, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lattes. Lattes has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
