Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Le Porge. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next fortnight, mate. The water is sitting at 73.8°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be in boardies or a spring suit for sure.

We’ve got a fair bit of swell on the cards, but the wind is the big story here – it’s going to be a pain in the neck. Most of the period is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore breezes, making things choppy and messy. The first real standout is a little way off, but it’s worth waiting for.

The best bet across the whole forecast is Sunday morning, the 13th of September. We’ll see a clean 3.9ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 13 seconds and glassy conditions (wind is NNW at 3 mph). The combined wave energy is strong at 472. This is a proper moment of calm. Just note that with that long period, it may break a bit straight on the beach, but the glassy surface makes it very appealing.

Before that, the early part of the week is pretty ordinary. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have onshore wind and chop on 3.3 to 4.9ft swell. It’s not worth paddling out. Wednesday the 9th has a little window with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s marginal. Friday morning the 11th is dead flat, so don’t bother.

After that Sunday standout, the following Monday morning (14th September) is also looking very clean with glassy conditions and a 3.3ft swell, perfect for a longboard. The energy is moderate (263). Later that week, we get another couple of solid options. Wednesday morning the 16th has a clean 4.3ft swell from the WNW with period 11 seconds and a cross-offshore breeze (NNE at 9 mph). The combined energy is a strong 419. This will be clean with good shape.

Thursday morning the 17th is also a beauty: 3.3ft, clean, light cross-off wind, and 288 energy. Then Friday morning the 18th brings glass again with a 4.3ft swell from the NW (period 9 seconds), energy at 306. Another solid clean option.

Saturday morning the 19th has rain showers and glassy wind on a 3.9ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't have much punch. Still, it’s surfable.

After that, the second week turns sour again. Sunday the 20th through Tuesday the 22nd is mostly choppy and onshore, with the only real chance being Tuesday morning (22nd) where it's clean but only small (2.3ft) and ordinary. Le Porge is a fairly consistent spot, so these gaps are a bit frustrating, but the standouts around the 13th, 16th, and 18th are the ones to circle on your calendar.

The crowd factor: Le Porge can get busy sometimes, especially on a clean morning with good swell, so you might have some company on those standout days.

Stay keen.
