The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here in Port Louis, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a bummer. The surf is pretty much a no-show for the next couple of weeks, so don’t get your hopes up.
From Tuesday, July 21st, we’re looking at tiny little windswell, maybe about 0.7ft coming out of the NNE, with the easterly wind blowing offshore, keeping it clean. The period is a short 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 10 (10). The water temp is around 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the water’s warm.
We get a slight bump on Wednesday and Thursday, with the swell reaching about 2ft, but the period stays short at 7 seconds, and the energy only gets up to 36, then 60. It’s still all “poor surf conditions.” Then from Thursday afternoon through to the 28th of July, we hit a long flat spell – days and days of zero surf and offshore wind. That’s a solid 5 to 6 days with nothing.
On Wednesday, July 29th, we get a tiny pulse again – 0.7ft from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds, but the energy is still only 8. Into the first week of August, it’s more of the same: 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with periods of 8 to 12 seconds, but the energy is so low it’s barely registering. That 12-second period on August 2nd might look okay, but at 0.3ft, it’s not a wave you can ride.
There’s just no standout here. No session worth paddling out for. Port Louis is an inconsistent spot for beginners anyway, so this kind of dead run isn’t out of the ordinary. If you’ve got a kite, it might be more fun than a surfboard, but for proper waves? We’re out of luck. The forecast can always change, but for now, it’s a right-off.

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.
