The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Le Porge has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch. This stretch of coast is in for a pretty rough ride, with only tiny windows of something surfable.

For the first week, honestly, it’s a write-off. From Saturday the 25th through Thursday the 31st of July, we’re looking at a nearly solid run of poor surf. The swell is small, weak, and the wind is just not playing ball. Most of the time it’s cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s one morning on the 28th that’s glassy, but with only a 3ft swell from the WNW at a 10-second period, the energy is low (171). You might find a boggy little wave, but it’s ordinary at best. Then we hit a dead zone from the 29th through the 31st with tiny surf, not worth getting wet for.

Then we roll into August. The 1st sees a bit of a pulse push through, about 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is still cross-on and the wave comment is still poor. The energy picks up to a moderate 227, but the quality just isn’t there. We go through the same story on the 2nd and 3rd, with one brief moment on the morning of the 3rd where it goes glassy. Again, a small 3ft wave with a short period of 7 seconds. The wave comments say “surfable but very ordinary,” and for a spot like Le Porge, that’s about as good as it gets right now.

Now, here’s the one true standout in the whole 16-day window, and it's a bit of a gamble being so far out. On Thursday, the 6th of August, the morning session finally looks like it might deliver. We’ve got 4ft of WNW swell with a 9-second period, providing moderate energy (221). But the big win is the wind: a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. That’s the recipe for clean, lined-up waves. The wave comment even says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your target. For a break that is exposed to the W swell direction, this WNW groundswell is coming right in. Keep in mind, this is a beach break, so the longer period could make it a bit straight, but with clean conditions, it should offer some fun, rippable walls.

After that, we fade out again. The weekend of the 9th of August shows a whole lot of energy (769) with swell pushing 8ft from the WNW on Sunday afternoon, but with a strong cross-onshore wind making a mess of it. That level of swell is getting big and punchy for this spot, but without clean wind, it's just a washing machine. Only for the experienced lads if the wind ever plays nice, but the forecast says it won’t.

So, to wrap it up: The next week is mostly a bust. Don’t waste your petrol. The only bright light is the morning of Thursday, the 6th of August. Mark it on the calendar, keep an eye on it, and if the wind holds, Le Porge might just surprise you.

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.
