Port Louis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. We’ve got a stretch of small, clean conditions but nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping. The main spot on the radar is Port Louis.

We’re starting off this Saturday, August 15th, with a tiny little pulse. Swell is coming in at a measly 1 ft from the NNE, with a long 11-second period. The wind is howling offshore hard out of the east at 25 mph, which makes it glassy but also makes paddling a real battle. The combined wave energy is weak at just 51. It’s clean, but it’s a struggle for a wave that small.

Across the weekend and into next week, the pattern holds. Swell drops gradually from 1 ft down to nothing, with persistent offshore winds from the east and southeast. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. By Monday the 17th, we’re looking at 1.0 ft, and by Tuesday the 18th, it’s down to 0.7 ft. The energy drops into single digits – that’s weak stuff, barely a ripple. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a real flat spell.

From Wednesday the 19th through to the end of the month, we see the same story. Tiny 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft swells, a few days with no measurable swell at all, and clean offshore winds keeping the surface smooth. That 12-second period swell on Tuesday the 25th might sound interesting, but at 0.3 ft it’s not worth the board bag being unzipped.

There’s no standout in this window. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll get is a small, clean knee-high wave with offshore winds, but the energy is barely there. For a beginner, the size is fine, but the inconsistency and the occasional strong offshore wind will make it tricky. This spot just isn't firing right now. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of them. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
