Hey, Rusty again. Let’s look at this in feet, but same story – not much to get excited about.
Vaucottes is a total bust for the full 16 days. The first little bump shows up Thursday, 2nd July afternoon with 4ft swell out of the WNW, but it’s weak, short-period at 6 seconds, with a combined energy of 130 (moderate). A fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore from the west ruins it – lumpy, choppy, unsurfable.
After that, the swell just tanks. Friday the 3rd through Wednesday the 8th: 2ft or less, periods ranging from 4 to 10 seconds, with cross or cross-onshore winds keeping everything ugly. Energy readings are low: 64, 48, 33… nothing to grab.
From Wednesday the 8th afternoon through Tuesday the 15th, it’s flat to near-flat. Swell heights are 0.7ft or less, combined energy in the single digits (8, 7, 6, 9). Barely a bump. Winds are mostly moderate to fresh cross-shore from the NE, lumpy and choppy. On Saturday the 11th morning there’s a clean cross-offshore wind (ESE, 20 km/h), but the swell is only 3ft from the NE, 5-second period, energy 34. Tiny, weak.
Sunday the 12th through Wednesday the 16th stays poor – 1ft to 3ft swell, all short-period windswell, and cross-on or cross-shore winds keep it choppy. Energy never tops 52.
Thursday the 16th morning has a clean cross-offshore from the ENE (20 km/h), but the swell is 1ft from the NW, 4-second period, energy 5. Almost flat. Friday the 17th morning is another clean window with a SSW cross-offshore (20 km/h), 2ft from the NW, 4-second period, energy 10. Still barely a ripple.
Water temp on July 2nd was 64°F, which is an anomaly of 3° – much warmer than usual for this time of year. Unusual, but doesn’t help when there’s no surf.
No standouts. No good options. The beach and reef setup might see some kite action on the stronger cross-shore wind days (like 35 km/h from the NE on the 9th and 10th), but for surfing, it’s a dead period. Forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a full on flat spell – leave the board home.
Rusty.

Information about the Vaucottes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vaucottes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vaucottes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vaucottes 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 (Vaucottes) 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 Vaucottes 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.
Vaucottes is 11 km (7 miles) from Fecamp. If you plan a holiday in Normandy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fecamp. Fecamp has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
