The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty grim for a decent paddle.
Right from the get-go on Sunday August 9th, we’re only seeing tiny 0.4m swell from the NE with a weak 26 combined energy. The wind is honking offshore out of the east at 30 km/h, so the surface is clean, but there’s simply not enough water moving to bother waxing up. That poor surf quality tag is well earned. This flat, weak pattern just drags on through the entire week and into the next. Monday the 10th through Thursday the 13th offer nothing but ankle-slappers between 0.1m and 0.6m, with combined energy never cracking 40. It’s clean pretty much the whole time, but that’s about all you can say for it – no push, no power.
We get a tiny bump on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, when the swell picks up to maybe 0.4m from the NNE with period around 11 seconds and combined energy climbing to 50. Still, that’s barely a knee-high ripple. The wind turns strong on Friday – 40 km/h out of the ENE – which is offshore but so strong it’ll be a battle just to get out there. Saturday’s a bit friendlier with a fresh breeze, but the surf stays poor.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is a brief window on Monday afternoon August 17th. The swell drops back to 0.3m from the NNE, period 10 seconds, combined energy 19 – still very weak. But the wind goes glassy, which for this tiny wave magnet at Port Louis (Guadeloupe) is about the prettiest you’ll see the ocean all week. A beginner *might* find a fun little crumble on a longboard, but nobody’s calling this a session.
After that, it flat-lines completely. From Tuesday the 18th right through to Monday the 24th, the swell is 0.1m or less, combined energy barely hits 4, and most days it’s just clean, flat ocean. That’s about a six-day blank run with nothing worth paddling for.
So here’s the bottom line: don’t bother packing the boards for the next two weeks. It’s a quiet spell for the region, and you’re better off waiting for forecasts to change. The most interesting thing out there is going to be the glassy flatness on the 17th – and that’s for the sup or a kayak.
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.
