The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Les Sablettes.
First up, the honest truth: the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. From Friday the 17th right through to the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, it's a write-off. We're talking small, short-period windswell – think chest-high at best, but mostly waist-high slop – with a relentless northerly wind that's either cross-on or straight onshore. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but you won't be caring about that when you're getting blown off your board. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 58 and 164 (weak to moderate), and the period is a pathetic 5 to 7 seconds. This is not surf; it's a washing machine. For most of this stretch, it's honestly more interesting for kiting than paddling.
Now, the light at the end of the tunnel. Things start to wake up on Monday the 27th of July. The morning brings a pulse of proper swell from the NNW, pushing 6ft. The combined energy jumps to 500 (strong), and the period stretches to 9 seconds, which is a real groundswell. The wind is light from the WNW, which is a cross-on breeze, but it's light enough to keep things clean. The afternoon drops to 6ft and the wind swings more northerly, becoming onshore, but that morning window is the first real chance for a wave.
The standout window, and the only one I'd circle on the calendar, is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. We've got a solid 5ft swell from the NW, with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 433 (strong). The wind is a light, offshore NNE breeze. That's glassy conditions, my friends. For a reef and point setup like Les Sablettes, that's prime. The quality will be there, with clean, lined-up waves. The only downside? The crowd factor is listed as "often", so expect company. This is the best of the entire 16-day stretch.
The morning of Thursday the 30th of July also looks promising with a 5ft NW swell, 9-second period, and good energy (401). The wind is a light cross-shore from the west, so it'll be workable, but not as clean as the 29th.
Thursday the 30th afternoon and Friday the 31st see the swell drop and the winds get messy again, so the window is tight. Don't sleep on the 29th.
Rusty.

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.
