Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, this is Rusty. We’re looking at a tough stretch for Le Porge for the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at a very unusual 78°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year.
The immediate window is pretty quiet. Right now, July 3rd is flat and crossed-up with a light NNW breeze and a weak 4ft WNW swell. The water’s got your wetsuit peeled, but the waves aren’t worth a paddle.
The first real chance of anything clean comes on Saturday morning, July 4th. The wind will be glassy – absolutely dead calm. That’s the big positive. We’ve got a 4ft groundswell out of the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 227. This will be the standout of the whole run. It won’t be huge, but on a day with zero wind, it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly wave. The forecast suggests the wind will turn moderate cross-onshore later that afternoon, so get it early.
After that, it drops off hard. Sunday the 5th has a tiny 2ft swell with a light cross-off breeze in the morning, but it’s weak (99 energy). We then hit a dry spell. From Monday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 15th, the surf is poor. There are days with almost nothing – swells between 1ft and 2ft, combined energy staying below 100 for most of it, and the wind is usually cross-onshore or choppy. There’s a long gap here with no real recommendations.
*Then*, a glimmer in the deep end of the forecast. On Saturday morning, July 18th, the swell jumps to 5ft out of the west with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy kicks right up to 450 (strong). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW. This is the biggest swell of the period, but it’s also a week and a half away, so don’t lock it in yet. The 6ft afternoon swell is even bigger but has a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it choppy. For now, the 5ft morning on the 18th is worth watching.
So, the verdict: glassy dawn patrol this Saturday morning, July 4th, is your best bet. If that doesn’t happen, keep an eye on the 18th for a bigger but wind-affected option.
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.
