The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the coming weeks at Les Sablettes.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a run of small, weak, and messy waves that just aren’t worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a warm 74°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting for something that never comes. The energy is just too low, with values barely cracking 100 (279 being the highest early on, but still with a crummy short period). You’ll see a few pulses of 5ft swell from the NW on Sunday morning, August 16th, but with a cross-onshore wind and a period of only 8 seconds, it’s going to be a bumpy, gutless mess. The real problem is the wind – it’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, killing any chance of a clean face.
Then there’s a real quiet patch from around the 18th through the 21st of August, where the swell drops to under 2ft. That’s a couple of days of flatness. You’ll see a slight bump on the 22nd, with a 5ft NW swell, but again, the wind is on it and the energy is only moderate (247). Honestly, it’s all a bit of a struggle until the end of the month.
However, eyes on the prize. The single standout window is the morning of Monday, August 31st. It’s a long way off, so don’t hold me to it, but the charts are showing some real promise. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a short 8-second period, but the real kicker is the wind. It’s forecast to be glassy. That’s right – flat calm. That’s a major positive. The energy is a solid moderate 278, and it’s the only time in the whole forecast where the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” For a reef and point break like Les Sablettes, a glassy morning with a bit of size is about as good as it gets. That’s the one to keep in the back of your mind. The crowds can be a problem here, and they often are, so for that morning, you’ll want to be up early to beat the rush.
The rest of the 31st, and the few days after, are back to onshore winds and the same old story. So, if you’re desperate, wait for that Monday morning glass-off. It’s your best – and pretty much only – real shot.
Rusty.
