The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long, hard look at what we've got coming down the line for our local zone.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be a bit of a grind. We've got some surf on the table, but most of it is going to be pretty average, with wind and conditions working against us more often than not. The real standout, the only one worth circling on the calendar, is looking like it's nearly two weeks out.

We kick things off on Tuesday, 28 July, at Le Porge. This is a beginner-friendly beach break that's fairly consistent and exposed to the west. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Tuesday morning is your best bet early on, with a small 3 ft swell from the WNW, a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the ESE. It's surfable, but very ordinary (combined wave energy is 175). That afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the NW, messing it up completely.

From Wednesday the 29th right through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a tough stretch. The swell drops off or stays weak, and when it does pick up a little, the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore. You'll see a period where the swell gets up to 4 ft to 5 ft around the 6th, 7th, and 8th, but it's all coming with onshore or cross-onshore breezes—moderate to choppy conditions that won't be any fun. The combined wave energy hits 256 on the 7th and 158 on the 8th, but that power is wasted with the wind ruining the surface.

Now, here’s the one we’ve been waiting for. On Sunday, 9 August, the morning at Le Porge is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a longer 10-second period—that’s more groundswell character. The combined wave energy jumps up to a solid 386, and with a light cross-onshore breeze, it’s described as having just small wind ripples. It’s flagged as marginal, but compared to the rest of this run, this is as good as it gets. That afternoon the wind picks up again and turns onshore, so get in the water early. Monday the 10th has similar size (4 ft) but with light onshore wind in the morning, so not as clean.

After the 9th, the swell holds around 4 ft to 4 ft through to the 12th, but the wind stays a problem, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Wednesday, 12 August morning has rain showers and a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s not worth it.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is mostly a write-off due to poor wind. The one true standout is Sunday morning, 9 August, with a decent 5 ft WNW groundswell and manageable wind. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. The rest is for the die-hards or the kite surfers if the wind is up.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but for now, pencil in that Sunday morning session.

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.
