The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and let’s talk about the surf coming up for Le Porge. Right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for, but don’t worry—the first real window opens up this Sunday morning, the 13th of September.

Sunday morning, the 13th, is actually pretty solid for a kick-off. We’re looking at a clean 4 ft swell out of the WNW, with a nice 13-second period. The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, so the wave faces will be clean. The combined swell energy is sitting at 367, which is a moderate, fun little pulse. It’s a good session for beginners, given the size and the fairly consistent nature of this break. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get there early if you can. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

Sunday afternoon, though, forget it. The wind swings around to a cross-on NNW breeze at 12 mph, and things get choppy and messy fast.

Monday the 14th morning is where it gets really glassy. We’ve got a morning of pure glass with a 3 ft WNW swell, period still solid at 11 seconds, and combined energy at 217. That light ENE wind again, dead offshore, will have those lines looking super clean. If you can get out Monday morning, that’s your pick for the early part of the week. Afternoon again goes to crap with the NW sea breeze.

Tuesday the 15th morning is glassy again but the swell drops right off to 2 ft and energy down to 72. It’s surfable but tiny. Not worth getting too excited about.

From Wednesday the 16th through to the end of that week, it’s a write-off. The wind is onshore or cross-shore nearly every session, and the wave quality is poor. There’s a bit of size on Thursday morning (5 ft), but the wind is cross-on and it’s just choppy. The longer-period stuff on the 18th (14 seconds) is let down by bad wind again.

Now, here’s the good news. The standout period is Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September.

Saturday morning, the 19th, is absolute glass. The wind is light from the SE, barely a puff. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the WNW, with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy jumps to 841—that’s a strong, powerful groundswell. The wave faces will be clean, but with that long period at a beach break, it might be a bit straight and sectiony. Still, the quality of the surf is very good. This is a session for more experienced surfers, as 5 ft with that much juice can push into the too-big-for-beginners zone for some.

Sunday the 20th morning is another gem. Clean, cross-off NE wind at 6 mph, 4 ft WNW swell, 11-second period, and combined energy at 547. The surf is clean and the conditions are dialled. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect a solitary peak.

Monday the 21st morning is also very good. 5 ft from the WNW, 14-second period, clean with a NE cross-off breeze, and energy pumping at 862. This one is a serious standout. If you’ve got the skill, this is the best on offer in the whole outlook.

After Monday the 21st, the size drops off and the afternoons are trashed by the NNW wind. The mornings hold some clean, smaller options through to Wednesday the 23rd (3 ft, clean), but by Thursday the 24th, the swell is gone. From the 25th onwards, it’s flat-to-tiny and not worth checking.

So overall, your best bets are Sunday morning the 13th for a clean, easy intro, but the real magic is Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st. Get on it.

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.
