The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up for Baie du Soleil (Menton-Baie-du-Soleil).
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are lean. Real lean. From now right through until the 17th of August, there’s barely a ripple worth paddlin’ for. We’re talkin’ day after day of flat, glassy water or tiny, unrideable slop. The wave energy is stuck at zero (0) for most of that stretch, and even when a little bit of 0.7ft shows up on the 11th, 12th and 13th, the period is a pathetic 4 seconds and only 2 (weak) combined energy. Not worth wettin’ a wetsuit.
There’s a solid gap of dead quiet from the 6th right through to the morning of the 18th. That’s nearly two weeks of nothin’ – but hang in there.
Finally, on Tuesday the 18th of August, Baie du Soleil wakes up. Tuesday morning brings a clean, glassy start with a WSW swell of 3ft, period of 5 seconds, and combined energy of 61 (moderate). That’s surfable. Tuesday afternoon gets better – still glassy, with the swell bumpin’ up to 4ft from the SSW, period stretching to 6 seconds and energy at 97 (moderate). Wind is light and glassy both sessions, so the face should be clean. Keep in mind this spot is a reef setup, inconsistent and only really exposed to SW swell direction, and the optimum is SW – so Tuesday lines up nicely. It’s best for intermediate surfers; 4ft is a fun size, not too big. Crowds? They’re possible here sometimes, so you might have a few mates out.
After that little pulse, it drops off fast. Wednesday the 19th sees a 2ft SW swell with clean offshore winds in the morning (61 combined energy), but the afternoon gets choppy with 2ft and only 6 energy. By Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, it’s back to barely a bump. So the only true standout in this whole 16-day outlook is Tuesday, the 18th of August. That’s your window – glassy, fun-sized, and clean. Get it while it’s there.
Stay keen, and remember – forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Baie du Soleil Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Baie du Soleil provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Baie du Soleil can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Baie du Soleil surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Baie du Soleil) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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 Baie du Soleil 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
