Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. The window starts off with a half-decent option on the very first day, then quickly drops off into a long dry spell of small, choppy, or onshore conditions. It’s not until late in the second week that we see a glimmer of something worth waking up for.

We kick things off on Tuesday the 1st of September with the only real standout of the whole forecast. Le Porge is looking like the pick of the bunch by a long shot. Tuesday morning, the surf is showing a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW at a solid 10-second period. That's a nice, organised groundswell. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE at only 6 mph, which means it’s gonna be clean and lined up. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 75°. Expect some fun, long walls for the beginners and intermediates out there. You'll feel the energy in the water, with the combined energy coming in at a moderate 356. This is your window, so get on it early.

After that Tuesday morning window, things go flat and messy. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Thursday the 10th of September, the surf quality is just poor. Sizes drop under 3 ft for days on end, the wind swings around to the NNW and NW, putting a chop on everything. There’s a few mornings with clean conditions but the swell is just too weak to bother with. That’s a solid week and a half of mostly nothing special.

We then get a bit of a reprieve on Friday the 11th of September. The morning shows up with glassy conditions from a calm SSE breeze and a 3 ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 207, and the call is for good surf conditions. The period is a bit shorter at 9 seconds, so it won't have the same punch as the 1st, but for a Friday morning session, it could be worth a paddle if you’re desperate. The afternoons get ruined by a choppy cross-onshore again, so it’s a morning-only game.

The final stretch, from the 12th to the 16th, is more of the same – small, onshore, and messy. There's a fleeting moment early on the 16th of September with a glassy 2 ft swell, but the energy is low and it’s a Wednesday. Don't plan your life around it.

So, to be straight with you: the only proper shout is Tuesday the 1st of September, early. Everything else is either too small, too choppy, or too far away to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, that’s the whole story.

Rusty.
