The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s lining up at Le Porge.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, junk surf from now through the end of July. Most days the swell is under 3 ft, and the wind is either cross or cross-on, turning the surface into a mess. The combined wave energy stays in the weak category, mostly double digits (25 to 69). That’s a solid week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t appear until the 28th of July.
On the morning of Tuesday the 28th, the wind finally goes glassy, calm as can be. The swell is small, about 2 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy is still weak at 66. It’s clean, but it’s a grovel session. Not a standout, just a break in the bad weather.
The real highlight is Sunday morning the 2nd of August. The wind is glassy again, and the swell is a solid 4 ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits 240, which is moderate and actually has some push. It’s a clean, glassy morning with a decent groundswell hitting the exposed beach. For a beginner-friendly break, this is the best setup in the whole forecast. The WNW direction is right on the money for the optimum westerly swell.
Monday morning the 3rd of August is also glassy, with a similar 4 ft swell, but the period drops to 9 seconds and the energy is 203. Still a good morning, but that Sunday is the clear winner.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
So, don’t waste your time for the next week and a half. The wait is long, but that Sunday morning the 2nd of August is a glassy, clean gem with some real energy. That’s the one to get excited about.

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.
