Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at charts all morning for this stretch. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, the first real window kicks off on Monday the 14th of September. We’ve got a clean little pulse on the way, so don’t sleep on that early session.

Monday morning is where it’s at. Le Porge is looking glassy with light ENE breeze around 3 mph, and the swell is a tidy 3 ft from the WNW with an 11-second period. The combined energy sits at 217 (moderate), and conditions are set up nicely. That glassy morning with offshore wind is a proper winner for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.

Monday arvo, though, the wind swings NNW and picks up to 12 mph, cross-on, and it chops out. That session’s a write-off.

Tuesday the 15th stays small and messy. Morning drops to 2 ft, and the cross-on wind from the NW at 3 mph gives it that light rippled look. Energy is weak (72). Tuesday arvo is worse: 16 mph cross-on, choppy, and not worth paddling out.

Wednesday the 16th shows a bit more size – 4 ft in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore at 12 mph from the N. The period is a short 7 seconds, which makes for lumpy, weak lines. Energy is moderate (237), but it’s not clean. Arvo is similar with 4 ft and cross-on wind.

Thursday the 17th morning is interesting. We’ve got light WNW wind straight offshore at 3 mph, with 5 ft from the WNW and an 11-second period. Energy is strong (460). It’s labelled marginal due to tide or other factors, but that clean offshore breeze and solid groundswell could surprise you if the banks are right. The arvo gets blown out again by 12 mph cross-on.

Friday the 18th morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze from the N at 9 mph. Swell is 4 ft from the WNW, 9 seconds. Energy moderate (312). It’s surfable and tidy. Arvo picks up a bigger 6 ft from the WNW with a very long 14-second period – energy jumps to 1315 (strong to very strong). But the wind goes cross-on and it gets fairly choppy, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag. That long period groundswell at a beach break like Le Porge might be a bit straight and tricky.

Now, the standout. Saturday the 19th morning. This is the pick of the forecast. Glassy calm, not a breath of wind – SSW at 0 mph. Swell is 5 ft from the WNW with a 13-second period. Energy is 781 (strong). That’s clean, solid, groundswell perfection for a beginner-friendly wave. Get on it early because the arvo gets trashed by 12 mph cross-on.

Sunday the 20th morning is another good one: 3 ft from the WNW, 11 seconds, light cross-off from the NE at 6 mph. Clean lines (242 energy). Arvo, again, gets messy.

Monday the 21st morning is also a ripper: 5 ft from the WNW, 14-second period, light cross-off from the ENE at 3 mph. Clean and powerful with 733 energy. That’s another top session. Arvo blows out.

From Tuesday the 22nd onward, things start to taper. Morning sessions are clean but smaller – 4 ft on Tuesday, 2 ft on Wednesday, 3 ft on Thursday – with light offshore or cross-off winds. Afternoons are all cross-shore and choppy.

By Friday the 25th, it’s small and ordinary. Morning sees 2 ft with moderate offshore ENE wind at 16 mph – clean but tiny (76 energy). That trend holds through the weekend and into the start of the following week: small waves, clean mornings, but nothing to get excited about. Energy values drop to weak levels – 30s and 40s.

So, in a nutshell: the first week has some real gems, especially Saturday the 19th and Monday the 21st mornings. After that, it goes quiet for a solid stretch with only tiny, clean but weak surf.

Rusty.
