The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's been a tough stretch here at Le Porge. The entire 16-day window is looking pretty flat and frustrating overall. We're stuck with a long, dry run of tiny, weak surf with barely any energy to get excited about. From now, right the way through to the morning of Saturday, August 8th, the swell is so small and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for poor conditions day after day. There are a few brief moments of glassy or clean conditions but with only 1.0 ft to 2 ft of swell, there's just nothing to ride. You’re looking at combined swell energy figures mostly in the 20s and 40s – that’s barely a ripple.
Then, finally, on the morning of Saturday, August 8th, things start to look a little more interesting. There's a jump to 2 ft of swell from the west, with the wind dropping to glassy and calm. It’s clean and the combined energy climbs to 83. It’s small, but that's the first real window where you could paddle out and actually catch something. If you've got a log, it might be worth a dawny.
The standout for the whole window, and the only time it gets remotely serious, is the afternoon of that same Saturday, August 8th. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the west with energy hitting 486, which is moderate to strong. But here’s the catch – the wind is howling cross-onshore from the NNW at 16 mph, turning it into a choppy, messy mess. That kind of size with that wind is not great for a paddle board; it’s gonna be windy and bumpy. For the more experienced crew, there could be a few punchy close-outs on offer, but beginners should stay well clear. That 16 mph cross-onshore makes it look more like a kitesurfing kind of day than a surfing one.
The following morning on Sunday, August 9th still has some size, around 5 ft from the west, but the light cross-onshore breeze will keep it a bit on the bumpy side. After that, it drops right back off again into tiny, poor surf for the rest of the run. So if you're patient, that Saturday 8th is the one to keep an eye on, but don't get your hopes up for perfection for the rest of the month.

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.
