Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf to speak of for the first few days, and then it’s a real mixed bag. The first proper recommendation doesn't roll around until Monday the 14th of July, so if you’re itching to get wet before that, you’re going to be let down. There’s a solid eight or nine days of pretty ordinary conditions before anything worth getting excited about shows up.

The only spot in the frame is Le Porge. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly beach break that picks up a W swell best. The whole period is dominated by small, weak swell – mostly around 2 ft to 2 ft. The wave energy is low for most of it, with combined swell energy values sitting in the 50s, 60s, and 80s early on (weak to low moderate). Only on Tuesday the 21st of July do we see a jump to 162 (moderate energy), but the winds are onshore that morning, so it’s a no-go.

The real standout – the only one worth putting a pin in – is the morning of Monday the 14th of July. That morning, Le Porge goes glassy with a clean 2 ft swell out of the west, a period of 12 seconds (a nice groundswell), and combined energy of 82. Conditions are described as glassy, which is a massive plus. This is a tiny wave, but it will be clean, lined up, and perfect for a beginner or someone wanting to cruise on a longboard. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

After that, the onshores and cross-shore winds just keep wrecking things. The afternoon of the 14th gets choppy, and from then on it’s a run of onshore winds, small swell, and messy conditions. The best of the rest is the morning of the 21st of July with a 4 ft swell from the NW and moderate energy (162), but with 12 mph onshore winds, that’s blown out and only for the most committed.

So the takeaway: zero surf for over a week, then a single glassy morning on the 14th of July for ankle-to-knee high peelers at Le Porge. After that, it’s back to waiting. For an exposed beach break like this, the smaller periods in the second week (5-8 seconds) mean weak, short-period windswell, so the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don't expect much, but forecasts can change.

Rusty.
