Les Sablettes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here again, talking Les Sablettes.

Right off the bat, the first week is a tough one to love. We’re looking at a lot of junky, onshore winds and barely any push. You’re gonna be doing a lot of waiting before things turn on.

The first decent window is a long way off. The early weekend (Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September) is a write-off. Sunday morning has a bit of glassy water from a light northwesterly wind, but the swell is a tiny 1ft of that super long-period energy (15 seconds). It’ll be clean as a whistle, but so small and slow you might be better off with a coffee. The energy is moderate at 161.

Your best bet early on is Monday morning, 7th September. Look, it’s a glassy, clean morning with a light offshore north wind. The swell bumps up to a fun 4ft from the northwest with an 11-second period, carrying a solid moderate-to-strong 435 energy. This is the session. The water temp is around 72°, which is a bit chillier than normal for now, so maybe reach for the spring suit. Expect some company, though, as “often” crowded at this reef and point means a few other souls will be on it.

The rest of that week is a bust – all bumpy onshore slop and weak energy.

Now, jump forward into the second week, and we find our two best real chances. Tuesday morning, 15th September, it’s clean with a light offshore southwest breeze and a punchy 4ft of north-northwest wind swell. It’s short period (7 seconds) so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but with that clean face, it’s a goer. Energy sits at 312. Then, the absolute standout: Wednesday morning, 16th September. Glassy conditions again, a clean 3ft of northwest swell at a very long 14 seconds. The energy is pumping at 470. For this reef and point, that’s a dream groundswell setup – clean, lined up, and well worth the early start. The afternoon gets messy, so stick to the dawn patrol.

After that, it’s a slow fade with small, inconsistent waves and iffy wind. Not much else to report.

So to keep it simple: suffer through the first part, then lock in Monday the 7th and especially Wednesday the 16th mornings. That’s your lot.

Rusty.
