The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you right from the start: this is a tough run. The numbers just aren't there for a proper surf.
We’re looking at Port Louis, and the whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off. There's a massive gap here with no proper waves to get excited about. From now all the way through, the swell is tiny. We're talking ankle-snappers at best through the rest of August and into September.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a comfortable paddle even if there’s nothing to ride.
Across the entire period, every single report is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The swell heights barely tickle 2 ft for a brief moment around Thursday the 27th of August, with a moderate wave energy reading from the NE. That’s the absolute peak, and even then, combined with moderate offshore winds, it’s just not enough to push anything worthwhile. The period is mostly short, around 8 to 13 seconds, so no real groundswell energy is finding its way in here.
The wind is offshore the whole time, mostly from the east and southeast at 12 to 19 mph, which would normally be a dream. But with no swell, it’s just a clean, flat ocean. For a spot like Port Louis, which is a beginner wave but inconsistent, this kind of blank run is just how it goes sometimes. The swell direction from the NNE is exactly what the spot wants, but there’s simply no size behind it.
If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might be worth a look with the consistent breeze and flat water, but for us paddle surfers, there’s nothing to chase. Hang in there, the forecasts can always change, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Port Louis Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Port Louis provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Port Louis can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Port Louis 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 (Port Louis) 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 Port Louis 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.
