The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Le Porge over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely anything surfable. The first week is pretty much a write-off with almost nothing on offer until the very end. From now until the 27th of July, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is a mess – onshore or cross-shore most of the time. There’s a pulse of 6 feet swell on the 25th, but it’s coming with a strong onshore wind, so it’s just a messy, blown-out situation. That’s a no-go for a paddle board.
The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Monday the 27th of July. It’s not a classic, but after a week of nothing, it’s a start. The wind is dead glassy, and the swell is a clean 3 feet from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (184). It’s a small wave, good for a beginner session or a longboard. The water is sitting at a very unusual 79° – that’s far warmer than normal for this time of year, almost like a bath.
Looking further ahead, the situation gets a bit more interesting but still not perfect. The morning of Sunday the 2nd of August shows a pulse of 5 feet WNW swell with a 10-second period, giving moderate energy (358). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it might be a bit lumpy but could still offer a few fun ones for a surfer who knows the bank. The following morning, Monday the 3rd of August, cleans up with a cross-offshore NE breeze at 10 km/h, but the swell drops back to 3 feet.
The true standout in this whole 16-day window, the one that’s worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. That glassy, clean 3 feet WNW swell is the best combination of rideable waves and perfect wind we’ll see. Don’t expect a groundswell, but for a quiet, clean session, that’s your moment. The Saturday the 2nd of August morning is a solid second option for a bit more size, but it won’t be as clean.
For the rest of the time, there’s a lot of waiting. The forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a lean period for Le Porge.
Rusty.

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