Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for the local stretch.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty grim. We’ve got Wednesday the 16th through to Friday the 18th with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the place – mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore – and it’s kicking up chop. Even though there’s some swell around, the conditions are just too messy to get excited about. You’re looking at weak to moderate wave energy and the setup is just poor. It’s a bit of a wait.

Now, Saturday the 19th is where things start to look interesting. Saturday morning is the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a glassy morning at Le Porge, with the wind shifting offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph. That is proper clean. The swell is a consistent 5 ft out of the WNW with a solid 13-second period, giving you moderate wave energy. It’s not huge, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s a beautiful, manageable size with real shape. Just be aware that with it being Saturday, crowds are possible here.

Sunday the 20th morning is also worth a mention. The wind is light and cross-off from the NE, keeping it clean. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft from the WNW, period down to 11 seconds, but it’s still surfable and tidy. Energy is moderate. A decent session, but Saturday morning is the one to circle.

After that, the second week from Monday the 23rd onwards gets patchy again. There’s a funny little window on Wednesday the 23rd morning – the swell drops right off to 2 ft, but it comes from due west with a very long 15-second period and clean offshore wind from the ENE. That’s going to be small and playful, more of a longboard or a fun sesh for the experienced. Wave energy is weak, so don’t expect power.

Thursday the 24th morning picks up a little – 3 ft from the WNW, 12 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze. Again, it’s clean but small.

After that, the surf fades further. From the 25th through to the 1st of October, it’s mostly onshore winds, tiny waves, and poor conditions. There’s a few mornings with clean wind but the swell is just too small – 1.0 ft to 3 ft. Energy is weak. This looks like a blank run for the area, which can happen. It’s a bit of a flat spell.

So to sum it up: Saturday morning September 19th is the clear winner – glassy, clean, fun-sized swell. Don’t sleep on it. Sunday morning the 20th is your backup. After that, it’s a waiting game.

Stay frothy.
