Les Sablettes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Les Sablettes. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so pay attention.

We’ve got a patchy start with a few days of nothing worth paddling out for, but things do shape up later. The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday the 12th. The morning session is your only shot that day. The water is a warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, and with a glassy 3 mph WNW wind, it’ll be clean. We’re looking at a small 3 ft NW swell, with a long 10-second period. The combined energy is weak, at 134, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s surfable. The crowds are often around here, so you might have to share.

After that, we hit a dry spell. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, the conditions are just poor. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small, and the periods are short. It’s not worth your time. That’s a full five days of nothing.

The next notable window is a bit of a tease. The morning of Saturday the 18th shows a bit more size, with a 5 ft NW swell, but the wind is onshore at 3 mph and the rating is marginal. It’s not a goer in my book.

The first real standout comes on the morning of Tuesday the 21st. This is the best on offer. The wind goes glassy, driven by a light 3 mph SSE breeze, and the swell is a solid 5 ft from the NNW at a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 313 – you’ll feel some push. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and I agree. For a reef and point break like Les Sablettes, that longer period groundswell will wrap in nicely. This is the morning to circle on your calendar.

The final highlight is a week later, on the morning of Saturday the 25th. It’s another glassy morning, with a 3 mph NW wind, and a 5 ft NNW swell at a nice 10-second period. The energy is moderate at 386. It’s a promising long-range call, but you know how it goes – we’ll have to see how it firms up closer to the day.

The rest of the period is filled with onshore winds and poor surf, so don’t get your hopes up for the afternoons or the other days. The mornings on the 21st and 25th are your two clear windows.

Stay patient, keep your eyes on the forecast, and I’ll catch you in the water.

Rusty.
