Les Sablettes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Les Sablettes has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it could be alright.

The first few days are pretty much a write-off for us surfers. A lot of onshore wind and messy conditions turning the place into a washing machine. You'd be better off checking the kite forecast 'cause the setup's gonna be more interesting for them than for a paddle surfer. That starts to change around Thursday the 17th, though we're still dealing with some cross-shore wind and a marginal call, but we're starting to see some energy. The real standout window looks like Friday the 18th morning, where we get a clean 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions – that's the kind of start to the day that gets you out of bed.

Let's break it down. The week kicks off weak. Tuesday and Wednesday have nothing doing, with onshore winds and poor surf. Thursday the 17th morning shows some improvement, with a 6ft NW groundswell (9 seconds) and moderate wave energy (639), but the cross-shore wind puts a damper on it. The real gem is Friday the 18th morning. We've got a solid 5ft NW swell, a period of 10 seconds, and combined wave energy is a solid moderate 517, but the killer is the glassy conditions. No wind, clean as a whistle. That is your best bet for a proper session.

Friday afternoon turns into a bit of a mess with onshore wind again. Saturday the 19th morning is interesting but a different beast. We get a 3ft swell from the NNW with a very long 17 second period. That's a proper groundswell. Combined energy is high at 739. But with that long period, it'll be a bit walled and straight at this beach and reef setup, so look for the point. Sunday the 20th drops off again with cross-onshore breezes.

We then hit a flat, poor stretch from the 21st through most of the 28th of September. Small waves, weak energy, and the wind is just never right. It's a proper dry spell.

Then, just as you're about to hang up your wetsuit, we get a flicker. On Tuesday the 29th of September, we see a bump in size to 6ft NW groundswell with moderate energy (497), but the wind is cross-onshore and it's a marginal call. Not a standout by any means. The best of the second week actually comes on Wednesday the 30th of September. The morning shows 5ft of NW swell with a 11 second period, moderate energy (445), and glassy conditions. That's a promising, clean session to end the outlook, but remember it's a long-range call so it could still shift.

In the meantime, expect water temps to be about average for the time of year.

Keep an eye on that Friday the 18th and the long-range Wednesday the 30th. The rest is a game of patience.
