The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s cookin’ at Les Sablettes over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, right now it’s flat and ugly. From Wednesday the 19th through the start of next week, we got tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. Wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the wave energy is weak – just 62 down to 38 in the afternoons. Not worth paddling out for. There’s a long stretch here with no real surf. Sunday morning the 23rd is the first glimmer: glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and 188 combined energy. The water is about 73°F, pretty normal for this time of year. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Monday morning the 24th is glassy again with 2ft, but it’s tiny.
The best window in the whole run is late in the period – around Friday the 28th and into early September. By Friday morning the 28th we got 6ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 397 – moderate energy. The wind is light cross-on from the WNW, so it’s a bit lumpy but not terrible. That 6ft is getting into the zone for experienced surfers, maybe a bit much for beginners. Water info isn’t given for that date, but earlier readings showed it was about average warmth.
The real standout though is Tuesday the 1st of September. Both morning and afternoon show 6ft from the NNW with a period of 9-10 seconds, and combined energy hits 552 (morning) and 554 (afternoon) – that’s strong energy. The wind is a letdown: cross-on from the NNE in the morning and onshore from the north in the afternoon. Still, for a reef and point like Les Sablettes, longer period groundswell (9-10 seconds) tends to wrap in better, and the swell direction is close to the optimum NW. This is a point break, so it handles chop better than a beach. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
Bottom line: you’re waiting until the end of the month for the real juice. The first week is mostly a write-off. The 1st of September is the best bet, but it’s not perfect – the wind is the enemy. If you’re a confident surfer and don’t mind a bit of cross-onshore chop, that’s your window.

Information about the Les Sablettes Surf forecast

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.
