Pont Blondin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at what Pont Blondin is offering. This is a beach and point break that really needs a northwest swell to fire. And honestly, the next couple weeks are mostly a waiting game.

Sunday morning, 12 July, gives us a little glimpse. The water is 77°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – a real bonus. There’s a tiny 3ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the WNW at 5 mph. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (134), and the waves are just too ordinary to get stoked about. By Sunday afternoon, the wind swings to the NNW at 20 mph, making it cross-onshore and choppy, with the swell only 3ft. That’s a no-go.

Monday the 13th morning is cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but still only 3ft at 9 seconds and weak energy (152). Monday afternoon turns into cross-shore chop. Tuesday the 14th is a total washout: tiny 2ft swell, energy dropping to 66, and nothing to save it. That pattern holds through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday – small swell, short period, and the wind is never right. The energy stays low, mostly under 200.

From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Thursday the 23rd, it’s a rough stretch. The swell does build a bit, hitting 5ft to 6ft on the 18th and 19th, but with a short 8-second period and cross or cross-onshore winds, it’s just a messy, choppy mess. For a beach and point setup like this, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day.

Here’s the one real highlight. Friday morning, 24 July, is the only morning that looks good. The swell is 6ft from the NNW at 8 seconds, with strong energy (384). The wind is out of the NNE at 10 mph, giving a clean cross-offshore breeze. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions." That’s it. The afternoon of the 24th gets spoiled by a 20 mph cross-shore wind, so get out there early.

After that, Saturday the 25th is marginal with 5ft and light winds, but nothing special. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are back to poor conditions with onshore winds.

So, bottom line: you’ve got a long dry spell until Friday the 24th. That morning is the only clear standout. The water is warm, the swell has some size, and the wind will be clean. Everything else is either too small, too choppy, or just plain poor.
