The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: there’s not much to get excited about along this stretch of coast for a while. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent paddle surfing, so don't hold your breath.
For the next week or so, the swell is just not cooperating. The directional energy is weak, and combined with mostly unfavourable onshore or cross-onshore breezes, it’s making a mess of things. The first suggestion of any real surf isn’t until Saturday the 15th of August, but even then it’s not worth getting the board wet. We’re looking at a lumpy 5ft NW windswell, with a short 8-second period and only moderate energy (233). The wind is howling cross-on, making it choppy, and the tide’s not doing us any favours either. This pattern of weak, short-period swell and grotty wind pretty much sets the tone for the whole period.
Les Sablettes is a reef-and-point setup that ideally wants a NW swell, so the direction is okay on paper, but the quality just isn’t there for any of these days. The water's sitting at 73°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, but the crowd factor is still high—"often" busy means you're not going to have it to yourself.
Friday the 21st of August afternoon shows a bit of a spike in energy, with that 5ft NW swell pushing the combined energy up to 338 (moderate), but again, it’s an 8-second windswell with onshore NNW wind. Not clean, not enticing.
There are no standout days here. The forecast is reliable, and it doesn’t change—solid patches of onshore wind and short-period junk. We even get a few days, like Wednesday the 19th, where the swell drops to barely 2ft or 1ft with energy barely hitting 48. That’s basically flat with a ripple. Considering the setup is a beach and reef mix and the quality is consistently poor, if you must get on the water, it’s looking more interesting for a kite session than a surfboard.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd of August show some pulses, but again, onshore winds ruin any chance of a clean face. From the 24th onward, the wind settles into a cross-on pattern, but the swell remains short-period and small. The last few days of August trickle out with 3ft to 3ft of 6-7 second swell.
Bottom line: leave the boards on the beach for this stretch. You’re not missing a thing.
Rusty.
