The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days around Port Louis is a real heartbreaker. There’s basically nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. The whole run is a flat spell, with only tiny dribbles of energy showing on the 28th of July and a few days in early August, but they’re all flagged as "poor surf conditions." The combined swell energy barely registers, with the highest reading being just 24 (moderate breeze) on the 3rd of August. That’s not enough to push a decent wave.
The first real chance of any swell comes on the 28th of July, but it’s a measly 0.3 ft from NE with a 10-second period, and the energy is only 4. That’s just a ripple. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a dip would be warm, but there’s no surf to dip into. The wind is offshore from the east for most of the period, which is normally a good sign, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a waste of a clean breeze.
Port Louis itself is a beginner spot, but it’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed, needing a NNE swell to really fire. We’re getting tiny pulses from the NE and N, but nothing with any push. The best little bump we see is on the 3rd of August morning with 0.7 ft from NNE and a 10-second period, energy at 21, but it’s still rated "poor surf conditions." Crowds are possible here, as it says "sometimes," but honestly, nobody is going to be out there.
This is a long, dry spell. From the 24th of July straight through to the 8th of August, there’s no decent surf on offer. The good news is that when a spot like this is fairly inconsistent, it tends not to stay this flat for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the boards in the car and save the energy. The setup, with the consistent offshore wind and tiny swell, might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if that’s your thing.
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.
