The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the look ahead for Le Porge.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf, with a lot of days where the wind is just ruining the shape. The first bit of surf that’s even worth paddling for doesn’t show up until Tuesday, the 4th of August. Even then, it’s super small, with only 2ft swell from the W, but the wind is glassy in the morning. That’s the only saving grace – it’ll be clean, but the wave energy is weak (42). It’s really just a beginner-friendly knee-high dribble. The water here is 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The pattern continues to be a tease. You’ll see another brief window of clean, glassy conditions on Friday the 7th, with a tiny 3ft swell from the NW. The combined energy is still low (83), so it’s not going to be firing, but you might get a fun little wave if you’re on a longboard. Again, the wind is glassy, so it’s the only reason to even look at the water.
The best of a pretty average bunch shapes up on Tuesday the 11th August. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, with 2ft swell from the NW. The energy is still modest (64), but having clean conditions makes it the most user-friendly option. The waves will be small, but the shape should be much better than the choppy mess we’ll see most afternoons. This is the standout window, but it’s a small, quiet window.
After that, it’s back to small, onshore junk. There’s a hint of a small swell bump on the 14th with glassy morning winds, but it’s only 2ft. The late-run forecast shows a bit more energy on the 16th, with 4ft from the NW, but the wind is onshore and the combined energy (160) is still moderate at best. The quality is described as poor, so don’t get your hopes up.
Overall, it’s a flat, windy run. Keep the longboard waxed for the glassy morning windows, because that’s all you’re getting. Don’t expect any barrels.
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.
