Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Porge over the next 16 days.
Rusty here, and it's a grim stretch ahead for Le Porge. We're looking at a long, dry spell of small, blown-out slop for the first week and a half, before a late pulse of power shows up way down the line.
The water is sitting at an unusually warm 77°F, far above normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride. From Monday the 13th of July through the morning of Saturday the 26th of July, it's a solid twelve-day stretch of "poor surf conditions." The wave heights are mostly in the ankle-to-knee range, with combined swell energy often in the double digits – a weak 17 and 14 at times – meaning barely enough energy for a decent ripple. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, keeping the surface a choppy mess. There's a brief window around Sunday the 19th with clean offshore wind, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft) and has no push. It’s that kind of flat spell where you just shrug and wait.
Now, for those willing to wait it out, Monday the 27th of July starts to show a bit of life, with combined energy reaching 127 and building to a 5ft swell out of the WNW with a 9-second period by the afternoon. That's a moderate energy pulse finally showing up. The real standout, at long range, is Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning sees a 5ft swell (WNW, 8 secs) with moderate energy (321), but the afternoon kicks in with a strong 6ft swell out of the WNW, a 10-second period, and combined energy at 605 – a serious injection of power. This is strong wave energy. The wind, however, stays cross-on from the NW, which will mess with the shape and keep it lumpy. At 6ft, this is expert territory only – it's too big for beginners and will be a heavy, challenging paddle. The 10-second period gives it some decent groundswell punch, but the onshore breeze is a real shame.
Bottom line: the next two weeks are mostly a flat, windy bust. The only real blip of hope on the horizon is Tuesday the 28th of July, but it’s a powerful, rough, expert-only session and a long way out. Don't get your hopes up for anything before that.

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.
