The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch.
Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough one to call. There just isn’t any real surf to get excited about. The whole window is a flat spell, with nothing that breaks the "poor surf conditions" label. We’ve got a long gap from now through the entire period with no recommendations worth paddling out for.
The only spot on the cards is Port Louis. It’s a beginner-friendly, inconsistent wave that’s fairly exposed to the swell. Out of the entire 16-day run, the best we see is a tiny bump on Monday afternoon the 7th, with a 1ft swell from the NNE. It’s a groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, but the combined energy is only 86 (weak). The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s normal, not a standout.
The wind is offshore from the East for most of the forecast, which is a positive, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The energy is so weak it never climbs above three digits. It’s a blank run. When the surf is this small and the energy is this weak, it’s more of a rinse than a ride. It’s not unusual for this area to see periods like this; it’s just the nature of the spot. Hang tight, check back in a few days, forecasts can change.

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.
