The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've had a good look at the charts for the coming weeks. Let's be straight with each other: it's a tough run ahead. The 16-day window is a real struggle, with barely a bump of rideable swell and often nothing at all.
We start off on Tuesday the 18th of August at Les Roquilles. There's a tiny 3 ft swell from the west with a short 4-second period, which is just weak, sloppy energy (19). The water is a super warm 83°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wettie. The cross-shore wind is light, but the surf is just poor. Nothing to get excited about.
Wednesday the 19th through to the end of August is a real flat spell. We get a few days with absolute zero swell, and even when there's a little hump of 0.7 ft or 2 ft, the period is so short – 3 to 6 seconds – that it's barely a ripple. The combined energy is mostly in single or low double digits, like 2 or 13, which is just weak. There are some clean, glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 19th morning and Sunday the 23rd afternoon, but there's nothing to surf on them. Thursday the 20th morning has a gentle offshore breeze, but with only 2 ft of weak swell, it's still a no-go.
The first week of September doesn't offer much hope either. Tuesday the 1st of September sees a slightly bigger 4 ft swell from the west-northwest, but it's still a short 4-second period, and it's blowing a strong 25 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is a moderate 54, but with those strong winds and messy chop, this is way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is too weak and wind-affected for anything else.
Honestly, there's no standout day here. The entire forecast is a blank run of poor surf conditions. Les Roquilles is an inconsistent spot anyway, and this stretch of flat water is just the reality of the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a quiet time to do other things.
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.
