The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for us.
First off, we gotta be straight with you – this is gonna be a long, flat spell. We're looking at a solid stretch of nothing from now all the way through to the end of August. The swell just isn't making it in, and those 0.7ft to 1.0ft waves are barely a bump. With combined swell energy barely hitting the teens (between 7 and 22), it's basically a lake out there. Winds are offshore and clean for a lot of it, which is frustrating because there's just nothing to ride. You'd be better off with a kite on these days, honestly.
Then, on Monday the 24th of August, the whole picture flips. A proper 10ft NE swell rolls in with a 12-second period and combined energy reading of 2107 – that's some serious power. It's a groundswell, so you'll get those long waits between sets, but the juice is there. Now, because it's so big, this is strictly for the experienced crew. Beginners, sit this one out.
The only spot on the radar is Port Louis (Guadeloupe). It's a beginner-friendly spot by nature, so a 10ft swell is way out of its comfort zone. The wind is cross-off from the NNE on Monday afternoon, which is okay but not perfect. Remember, this is an inconsistent spot anyway, so the fact it's showing life at all is a bit of a wildcard. The water's currently sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty average for the time of year.
Honestly, if you're an expert with the right board, Monday the 24th is your one and only shot. The rest of the window into early September looks like more knee-high dribble. Don't hold your breath for much else. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but right now it's a one-day wonder.
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.
