The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Le Porge.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat start. The first few days are a write-off, so don’t bother paddling out on Tuesday. Wednesday morning the 9th shows a little pulse of swell, but it’s not a standout. The real action is spotty, with a few clean windows scattered through the 16-day run.
The best of the whole period lands on Monday morning, the 14th of September. That’s your pick. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror. That’s about as good as it gets around here. The combined energy sits at 218 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push, but it’s not gonna blast you. Blew it? Don’t worry, the following Monday morning, the 21st of September, is another cracker. That morning sees 4ft from the WNW, period 11 seconds, and glassy conditions again. The energy is higher at 431 (moderate-strong), so expect a bit more grunt. Clean, lined-up waves.
The Thursday morning, the 10th, is worth a mention too. Swell drops to 3ft WNW, 10 seconds, but the wind is glassy again. It’s a small, clean day – good for a beginner or a longboard, but not a standout.
Wednesday morning the 9th and Monday morning the 14th are the only proper glassy windows with decent swell. The rest of the time it’s mostly cross-onshore or choppy, especially afternoons. The water temperature anomaly isn’t provided, so we’ll just say it’s about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Overall, a few clean, fun mornings in the first two weeks, but no big swell. The 21st of September is the best of the long-range pick, but it’s a bit further out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
