Les Roquilles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve had a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast, and I gotta be honest with you—it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The surf's gonna be small and pretty average for the next two weeks, with a handful of days offering a little something to get out for.

The overall story is quiet. We’ve got a long gap ahead with barely a ripple. The only real chance to wet a line comes right at the start and then, after a long dry spell, a small pulse arrives on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September.

Les Roquilles is the only spot on the radar, and it’s an inconsistent beginner’s wave. The water’s sitting at 75°, about 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch warmer than you’d expect.

Let’s start with the first morning. On Sunday, August 30th, there’s a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW with a weak 3 energy units, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NW, so the surface is clean. Not much to work with, but if you’re desperate, you could get a little knee-high dribble. That afternoon, it drops to 0.7ft and gets onshore—skip it.

Monday, August 31st, the morning has another 1.0ft bump from the SSW, again with a light cross-off breeze. Still tiny. Then the afternoon flattens out to 1ft, but the wind goes cross-on, so it’s messy.

Then we hit a real flat spell. From Tuesday, September 1st, all the way through Friday, September 4th morning, there’s nothing—zero wave energy. The wind is often light or offshore, but without any swell, it’s a lake.

Saturday, September 5th morning is the one that stands out as the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. A small 4ft west swell rolls in, and the combined energy is a moderate 47 units. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, keeping it clean. It’s not a big wave, but it’s the biggest we’ll see, and the conditions should be tidy. The swell direction is west, and the spot likes SSE, so it’s a little off-angle, but given the quiet period, it’s the best bet. Keep in mind, Les Roquilles is inconsistent, so don’t expect perfection. The afternoon drops to 3ft and goes onshore, so get it in the morning.

Sunday, September 6th morning has a clean offshore wind from the NNE, but zero swell. Perfect for a flat day paddle.

After that, the rest of the run is mostly flat or very small. There’s a tiny 2ft west swell on Wednesday, September 9th, with a moderate offshore wind from the NE, but the energy is only 7 units. Not worth getting excited about. And on Saturday, September 13th, the afternoon shows a 2ft swell from the ESE with a light cross-shore, but again, it’s minimal.

The final days—Monday, September 14th and Tuesday, September 15th—offer a dusting of small swell, but the wind is fresh and lumpy, especially on the 14th afternoon with 19 mph cross-shore winds making it choppy and unappealing. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, the honest truth: the standout is the morning of Saturday, September 5th, with a clean 4ft west swell. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board’s gonna stay dusty.

Rusty.
