The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, this forecast for the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a real flat spell for the most part, with only tiny, weak waves on offer. The first solid recommendation doesn't appear until the end of the first week, and even then it's a marginal call.
Let’s start with Port Louis. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but it's inconsistent. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells. We’re talking about combined wave energy that’s barely a whisper, with readings like 8 and 3 in the early days. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze. The wind is offshore from the East, which is clean, but there’s just no power in the water to work with. It’s a frustrating start.
The afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd of July brings the best of the whole window. Swell ticks up to 2ft from the NNE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 59, which is still weak but at least it’s something. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze from the East, keeping the surface clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is small, so it’s fine for beginners, but the inconsistency means you’ll be doing a lot of waiting.
The next few days after that, from the 23rd to the 25th, we hit a total dead zone with zero swell. It’s a real blank run. Then from the 26th of July into the 30th, we get a few tiny pulses of swell again, but nothing to get excited about. The 30th of July morning sees a 2ft NE swell with a period of 8 seconds and energy of 54, but it’s still the same story – small, weak, and short period. The wind remains offshore, so the conditions are clean, but the lack of size is the killer.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the afternoon of the 22nd of July at Port Louis is your only real window, and even then, keep your expectations super low. For the rest of the window, you’re better off on the beach.
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.

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.
