Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into what's cookin' for Le Porge.
Alright, straight up, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We've got a long stretch of really weak, messy surf with onshore or cross-shore winds making a mess of things. It's not looking good for a paddle until we get towards the end of the period. To be honest, there's a big empty gap here for anyone wanting a decent wave.
There is one standout that pops out, but it's a way off. Mark your calendars for Saturday morning, July 20th. That's our best shot. The swell bumps up to a clean-looking 4 ft from the WNW and the wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a beautiful thing to hear. The wave energy is moderate, coming in at (172) for that session. It's an exposed beach break here, so that short period (7 seconds) means it might be a bit fat and crumbly, but with those conditions it'll be ridable and fun for the beginner and intermediate crew. It's a beginner-friendly spot anyway, so that size is perfect for learning.
The water temperature is a very unusual 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year at Le Porge. That's a big anomaly – nearly four degrees above average, so you can leave the 4/3 at home.
The only other flicker of hope is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. You'll see 4 ft to 5 ft WNW swell pushing in, but it's cross-on and choppy, so it won't be as clean as the Monday. The wave energy there is strong at (262) for the Sunday morning, but the quality just isn't there with that wind.
To sum it up: the next two weeks are mostly a bust for quality surf. The one true standout is that glassy morning on July 20th. It's a long way out, so don't book the trip just yet, but that's the window to keep an eye on. Everything else is skunk territory.
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.
