The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it – the next 16 days at Ste Barbe are mostly a bust, with one shining moment that’s worth the wait. This reef is a tough, advanced wave that breaks rarely, and for the first ten days you’re looking at ankle‑biters, chop, and onshore junk. Then, on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th, things finally line up. Clean 4ft west swell, light north‑northwest wind that’s slightly offshore, and glassy conditions. The combined energy sits at 241 – that’s solid, moderate push – and considering how inconsistent this spot is, you’d be a fool to skip it. The swell direction is a hair off the ideal (west vs. southwest), but with that wind and size, it’s the only day that’s truly firing. The afternoon gets trashed by a stiff cross‑onshore, so paddle out at first light.
The next morning, Wednesday, July 29th, is also worth a look – dead calm, a 3ft, 11‑second west swell, energy 169. It’s smaller and slower, but if you want a long, mellow session with hardly anyone around (crowds are rare here), it’s a solid backup. After that, the swell fades back into nothing. The 26th and 27th have some bumpy 4–4ft windswell, but it’s short‑period and lumpy, not worth the gas. For a finicky reef like this, you’ve got one clear standout. Don’t miss the 28th morning.
Rusty.

Information about the Ste Barbe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ste Barbe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ste Barbe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ste Barbe 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 (Ste Barbe) 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 Ste Barbe 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.
