The Lowdown

Right, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Le Porge. I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s been a tough stretch for waves around here, and the truth is, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for any kind of decent paddle session. The water is a balmy 77°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, nearly 9°F above average, which is seriously unusual.

We're looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days, from Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of the weekend on the 19th, it’s all tiny, weak swell with poor quality onshore wind. That WNW swell is barely 1ft to 2ft, with combined energy sitting in the low double digits (25 to 41), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore. Not a chance.

There’s a couple of mornings, like the 19th, where the wind goes glassy, but with only 1ft of swell and no energy, it’s just a flat lake. Not worth the wetsuit.

The first week of the run is a write-off. Even into the second week, from the 22nd through the 29th, we see a few more promising swells, but they’re still dogged by poor conditions. The swell starts to nudge up, especially around the 25th and 26th, with a 4ft to 5ft west-northwest swell pushing the combined energy up to 181, which is a moderate wave energy. But it’s all onshore wind, so it’ll be a messy, blown-out crumble. The 27th and 28th see a small drop off again.

The only real moment of interest is on the morning of the 23rd of July. We get a 2ft from the southwest, with a light cross-offshore wind from the northeast, making for clean, surfable conditions. The combined energy is a weak 44, the period is a short 6 seconds, so you’re not getting much power, but it’s the only window in the whole forecast that isn’t a total write-off. It’s graded as a 1 out of 10, so it’s a session for the longboard to get wet, not for any sort of real performance.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, the setup here is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The swell is there on the 25th and 26th, but the wind is just too strong and onshore to make it a good wave. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for too long, but right now, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
