The Lowdown
Well, folks, let’s be straight with you. Right now, looking out over the next 16 days, we’ve got a pretty bleak picture. There are no good surf options to speak of in this entire window. The data is showing almost nothing but tiny, weak, or flat conditions at Les Roquilles. It’s a tough run.
The first hint of anything rideable doesn't show up until Monday the 17th, but honestly, it’s barely worth getting out of bed for. We get a little pulse of swell from the west, around 4ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is still low at 64, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW – that’s about the only positive. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary, weak, and pretty junky. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year down at Les Roquilles. That’s very unusual, feels more like a bath than the ocean.
After that, it goes right back to nothing for days. We’re talking a blank run of tiny or flat surf from the 18th right up until the morning of Monday the 24th. Now, that Monday the 24th has a bit more size to it – a swell from the WNW pushing 6ft, with a period of just 6 seconds and a combined energy of 177. It’s still not a quality wave; it’s lumpy, crumbly, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NW. That’s about as good as it gets, and for an experienced surfer only, because anything over 5ft with that short period turns into a bumpy closeout. The 24th afternoon remains surfable but similar.
Then from the 25th onward, it’s back to flat or near-flat with strong, gusty cross-offshore winds that would just blow the foam off anything that tried to form. Honestly, for a spot that’s already described as inconsistent, this is a pretty normal-looking run of poor conditions. Don’t write it off forever – forecasts can change and it tends not to stay this flat for long. But for now, save the gas and keep the boards in the shed.

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.
