The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Le Porge over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, the first week and a bit is going to be a write-off for decent paddling. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of mostly poor conditions from the 24th of July right through to the end of the month. The swell is tiny, the wind is blowing the wrong way most of the time, and the wave energy is weak, down in the double digits and low triple digits. It’s not even worth getting the wax off the shelf for most of that period. There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of the 28th of July with glassy conditions and a clean-looking 3ft swell from the WNW with a nice 10-second period (combined energy 171), but it’s so small and the rest of that day gets blown out, so it’s more of a longboard or swim-fin kind of morning.
The real story here, and the only true standout, is the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. This is the one to circle on your calendar. We’ve got a clean 3ft groundswell rolling in from the WNW with an 11-second period (combined energy 269). The wind is a light cross-offshore out of the NE, which is going to keep the surface glassy. The only thing to keep in the back of your mind is that with a longer-period groundswell like this on an exposed beach break like Le Porge, the sets can be a bit straighter and more walled-up, so pick your peak carefully. The crowds are labelled as "sometimes," so it might get a bit busy, but with conditions this clean for the area, you’ll want to be in the water early.
Following that, the Monday morning of the 3rd of August shows a noticeable bump in size to a 6ft swell from the WNW with that same 11-second period (combined energy 683). That’s a fair bit of juice, but it’s coming in with a light cross-onshore breeze, so the conditions are considered marginal. It’s got potential if the wind plays ball, but it’s a gamble compared to the certainty of the Sunday morning. For a beginner, that 6ft swell will be pushing the limits.
So, the call: the first week is a dud, but hang in there. The morning of Sunday, 2nd of August, is your best bet for clean, rideable waves.
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.
