The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty mixed bag for Le Porge over the next couple of weeks. The first few days have some promise, but the second week drops right off, so you’ll want to focus on the early part of the period.
The best window opens Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The water is a balmy 74°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the WNW, with a nice 9-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate at 269, but the conditions are set to be clean. This is a solid, fun option for a beginner-friendly spot.
The real standout, though, is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. The wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions – with a 4ft swell from the WNW. The period bumps up to 11 seconds, giving the waves some real shape and punch. The energy is moderate (319), and with that glassy surface, it’s going to be absolutely pristine. This is the best session on offer all week. If you can only get out once, make it Sunday morning.
Things get a bit trickier after that. Sunday afternoon sees a strong onshore wind from the W at 12 mph, which will wreck the surface. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have some small pulses, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surf messy and poor. The best of the rest might be Wednesday morning, the 9th, with a clean 4ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s nothing special.
From Thursday the 10th onwards, the swell drops away and the wind turns onshore for most of the time. For the next 9 days, from Thursday the 10th of September all the way to Saturday the 19th, the surf is very poor or non-existent. There are a few clean mornings with tiny waves (1ft to 3ft) and light offshore winds, like on Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th, but the energy is weak (less than 150) and the conditions are only “surfable.” It’s really just a paddle at best.
The long-range outlook does show a flicker of hope for Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September. We might see a 3ft swell from the WNW with a clean offshore wind, but it’s a long way out and the energy is low. Don’t get your hopes up too much.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, the windier afternoons in the second week might be more interesting for you than a surfboard. For a paddle, you’ve got Saturday morning and Sunday morning this week. That’s your call.
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.
