The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day stretch is looking pretty flat. We've got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of any surf is on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th of August, at Port Louis, but even that's a struggle. It's a tiny 1 ft swell from the NNE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 27. The water's warm at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that's about the only thing going for it.
The rest of the first week and into the second is more of the same. We see days of small, weak swell, mostly under 1 ft, with the combined energy never cracking triple digits. On the 15th and 16th, the wind goes cross-offshore, but the swell is still too small to do anything with. The set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if I'm being honest. By the 21st of August, we're looking at a couple of days with zero swell at all.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout, no hidden gem, no secret session to get excited about here. It's a flat spell. Don't hold your breath. Things can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
