Les Roquilles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a 16-day window and, honest to god, there’s not a single day where the surf’s worth getting excited about. The first real bump of any kind doesn’t show up until Thursday 23 July, and even that’s just a tiny 0.7 ft ripple from the SSW. It’s a long, quiet run.

The water at Les Roquilles is sitting at 80°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a swimming pool than a surf zone.

Let’s walk through it. The whole first week is a dusty dry spell. After that tiny 0.7 ft on Thursday 23 July morning, we get a bit of a pulse on Saturday 25 July – 2 ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s basically a bump. The morning is clean with a light NE cross-off, but the afternoon turns into a messy cross-onshore chop. Not worth rushing for.

Sunday 26 July brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook – 6 ft from the WNW with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 209 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it’s lumpy, choppy, and generally ugly. This is a kite surfer’s setup, not a surfer’s. For a small beach break like Les Roquilles, this is a mess.

After that, we’re back to near-zero. The rest of the month and into early August is a series of tiny, weak swells (0.7 ft to 3 ft) with short periods (3–6 seconds). The best of a bad bunch is probably Wednesday 5 August morning – 3 ft from the S, 6-second period, clean offshore NNE wind at 6 mph. The energy is 43 (weak), but it’s the cleanest looking window in the whole run.

The bottom line: there’s no standout here. No day where the swell, wind, and quality line up. It’s a long blank patch. For an area like this, though, it’s not unusual – the forecasts can flip, but right now, you’re better off leaving the board in the shed.

Rusty.
