The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks around Le Porge.

The first thing I’ll say is, don’t get too excited yet. We’ve got a long, drawn-out run of small, sloppy conditions before anything really worth paddling out for shows up. The waves we *do* get are mostly in the knee-to-waist high range, nothing with any real punch, and the wind is going to mess with things on most days.

We kick off on Sunday, the 9th of August, with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, period around 10 seconds. The energy is weak (43), but the morning is glassy – that’s the one bright spot. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. By the afternoon, that NW wind picks up to 12 mph and goes cross-on, turning it into a choppy mess.

Monday morning the 10th is another glassy chance, with a similar 2ft swell, but again, it’s small. The energy is still weak (63). This pattern just repeats itself through the week: mornings offer a window with light wind or glass, but the swell barely moves the needle, staying below 2ft. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Afternoons are consistently blown out by a cross-onshore breeze.

We finally see a little bump on Thursday the 13th, with the swell hitting 2ft from the west, and the energy climbs to 116 by the afternoon – still only “moderate” though. The wind is a problem again, ruining any real quality. This continues right through until the 20th of August. There are days with onshore wind and a bit more swell (like Friday the 21st), but the cross-onshore wind is howling at 12 mph, making it a total write-off for a surfboard. That 5ft swell with 11-second period on Friday afternoon has the energy cranked up to 496, but the conditions are so poor that honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The one day that *almost* gets interesting is Saturday the 22nd. Morning brings a 4ft WNW swell, with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (236), and the wind is light and onshore. It’s described as “marginal” due to tide or conditions, so it’s not a standout, but it’s the closest we get to something you’d drive for.

Overall, there’s no real standout session in this 16-day window. If you’re desperate, the early morning glass-offs on the 9th, 10th, and 11th will give you something tiny to ride, but that’s the best we’ve got. Hang tight, 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.
