The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m lookin’ at Les Roquilles for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run. This spot is a beginner break, inconsistent, and often crowded when there’s anything rideable – but that’s not the problem here. The problem is there’s almost no surf worth paddling out for.
The water’s weirdly warm too – we’re talking 79°F on the morning of the 16th, which is a massive 9°F above normal for this time of year. That’s unusual, but it doesn’t help the waves one bit.
We’ve got a long, dry spell from the start all the way through the 28th. Days and days of flat or tiny, junk swell with poor conditions. Sure, there are a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but the swell is either non-existent or so small – like 0.7 ft, 1.0 ft – that it’s not even worth dragging a board out. The combined energy barely registers, mostly single digits.
Then, finally, on the morning of the 29th, we get a little pulse. A 4 ft swell from the south, period 5 seconds – that’s short period, so it’s gonna be weak and a bit fat. Combined energy hits 113 (moderate) but the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Winds are offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, glassy clean. That’s the only window in the whole forecast. The optimum direction for Les Roquilles is SSE, so this south swell is a bit off, but at least it’s something. Keep in mind this break is inconsistent and often crowded, so if you’re gonna go, get there early. Even then, it’s only beginner-friendly stuff – 4 ft is fine for learners, but the period is short, so don’t expect much push.
After that morning, it’s back to flat or poor conditions again. The 30th and 31st offer small, weak swells but with onshore or cross-shore winds that ruin any chance of quality.
So, bottom line: one morning – 29 July – that’s your only real shot, and it’s very ordinary. If you’re desperate, maybe you’ll find a few ankle-biters. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for nothing.

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.
