The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Les Sablettes in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
It’s been a quiet patch and it’s gonna stay that way for a while. There’s a long gap of flatness ahead, so don’t expect much.
The water’s warmer than usual for this time of year, around 74°, about 4° above normal. Not that it matters when there’s no surf.
From Tuesday the 15th right through to the morning of Saturday the 27th, it’s mostly flat or with tiny, weak windswell. We’re talking 0.3ft or less, with combined energy readings of 1 to 86. Winds are cross or onshore, and conditions are poor.
There’s a little bump around Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th to about 4ft to 5ft from the west, but that’s short-period 6-second windswell. Energy climbs to moderate levels – 191 on Thursday morning, 130 on Friday afternoon – but it’s lumpy and cross-shore. Friday morning the 18th is a little cleaner with a cross-offshore WNW breeze and 4ft waves, but it’s still poor.
Saturday the 19th morning is clean with a 3ft west swell and light NNW winds at 6 mph, but it’s weak. Then it’s back to nothing from the 21st through the 25th – glassy mornings, zero swell.
Sunday the 27th afternoon shows a tiny 0.3ft southerly, but it’s nothing.
The best chance comes on Monday the 28th: the afternoon brings 4ft from the west, 5-second period, with a light east-northeast cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph keeping it clean. Combined energy is 98 – moderate but on the low side. Still poor surf, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
Tuesday the 29th has 4ft to 4ft west swell but with stronger cross-shore winds making it messy. Wednesday the 30th morning has the biggest swell: 5ft from the west-northwest, 6-second period, with a strong 25 mph cross-offshore wind and energy at 206. It’s clean but windy – more for a kite than a paddle.
Les Sablettes rarely breaks anyway, and this run proves it. No standouts here.

Information about the Les Sablettes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Les Sablettes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Les Sablettes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Les Sablettes 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 Sablettes) 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 Sablettes 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.
