The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Les Sablettes over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a pretty grim start. We're looking at a solid stretch of days with next to nothing worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday, August 24th. That's a long wait, so don't be in a rush.
The standout for the whole period is that Monday morning. It's not going to be huge, with swell around 4ft out of the NW, but the wind is forecast to be glassy. That's a massive plus, meaning the surface will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 362, and the water temp is about 73°, which is perfectly normal for this time of year. For a reef and point break like Les Sablettes, that glassy morning is the one to target. It's the only real window of quality surf.
After that, the forecast gets messy again. There's a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind through the rest of the week and into the next. The swell does pick up, with a few days seeing 5ft to 6ft from the NNW, but the wind is just not cooperating. The combined energy gets strong, hitting 590 on the afternoon of the 28th, but it's going to be lumpy and choppy. Those bigger days are really only for the experienced crew, and even then, the conditions look rough. The crowds at Les Sablettes can be a factor, but with the wind looking so poor, it might not be as packed.
The real hope lies in the very end of the run. Thursday, September 3rd and Friday, September 4th have some potential. Thursday morning has a 5ft NW swell with a 422 combined energy and a light cross-shore wind, which is a better bet than the choppy afternoons. Friday the 4th looks even more interesting: a clean 4ft NW swell with a solid 369 energy and a cross-offshore wind from the SW. That's a recipe for some clean, fun waves at the point. The dates are a bit far out, so keep a loose eye on it, but that Friday morning is the one to pencil in for the second week.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off until that glassy Monday morning. The second week starts tricky but looks like it could tidy up nicely by the 4th of September. Hang in there.
Rusty.
