The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week or so is looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of flat, weak surf with messy onshore or cross-shore winds. It’s gonna be a tough watch until we get a pulse of energy rolling in. The new swell starts to show up around the 26th of July, but even then, the conditions are nothing to write home about. The real glimmer in this forecast is for the morning of the 1st of August, and then again on the 2nd and 3rd. That’s where we’ve got a chance to score a few clean ones.
The standout session is the Saturday morning, 1st of August. Le Porge will be seeing a small but clean 2ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be a light cross-offshore from the NNE, cleaning up the surface nicely. The energy is weak (81), but for a summer morning with a beginner-friendly break, this is the pick of the litter. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 78°F.
The Sunday morning, 2nd of August is another decent look. Similar story with a 3ft NW swell, light cross-offshore winds from the ENE, and clean conditions. Wave energy is still weak (94), but it’s surfable and clean. The Monday morning, 3rd of August also offers a similar window with a 3ft NW swell and light offshore winds, though the energy drops off a bit (54).
For the rest of the period, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making a mess of things. The swell that does show up around the 26th and 27th of July gets up to 6ft, but with onshore winds and a stormy look, it's really only going to appeal to the kite surfers out there, not so much for a paddle. That 6ft wave is too big for beginners anyway, and the wind is making it ugly.
So, bottom line: the first week is a washout. Hold out for the 1st of August for a clean, small-wave morning session. It ain't big, but it'll be clean.
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.

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.
