The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf at Le Porge for the next couple of weeks.

It's a bit of a slow cooker to start, with a few days of onshore chop and poor quality. But don't throw in the towel, because there are a couple of windows that are proper magic.

The first real standout is Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We're looking at a glassy, dead calm morning with a clean 3.3ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is a moderate 203, and with a 10-second period, you'll get some nice, lined-up waves. This is a perfect session for the beginner-friendly break, with absolutely no wind to mess with the surface. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so a shorty or a spring suit will do the trick.

Then, after a week of mostly onshore wind and average conditions, we get a proper pulse. On Thursday morning, the 17th of September, the swell jumps to a clean 5.6ft from the WNW, pushed by a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is a solid 540, which is strong, and the period is 10 seconds. That's a powerful, meaty wave. This one is for the experienced crew, as that size is well into the "experts only" territory. The morning is clean, but the afternoon is forecast to get cross-choppy, so get your session in early.

There are a couple of other mornings worth a paddle, like the 14th of September with another glassy morning and 3.3ft waves, and the 16th of September with a clean, cross-offshore breeze and 3.9ft surf. They're solid, but the 10th and the 17th are the ones to circle on the calendar.

The second week has a few more clean morning windows, but nothing beats that Thursday the 17th.

Stay safe out there.

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.
