Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We're looking at Le Porge, and honestly, for the next few days, it's a bit of a struggle. There's a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions on the cards. The water is sitting at 77°, which is much warmer than we normally see for this time of year – a solid 6° above average, so that's a real treat.

Things start off pretty grim. This Thursday morning, August 27th, we've got a tiny 1ft WNW swell and a cross-shore wind making a mess of things. The wave energy is low, just 17. The afternoon is a bit better at 1ft, but still onshore. That pretty much sets the tone for the next few days. Friday and Saturday see bigger swell, up to 6ft on Friday morning, but the onshore winds are damaging, keeping the surf quality poor. The combined swell energy does climb to a moderate 381 on Saturday morning, but it's not clean.

Sunday, August 30th, offers a hint of a chance. We get a 5ft WNW swell with a light, cross-shore wind, and the energy is moderate at 445. It's still marginal, but it's a step in the right direction. Monday stays poor with onshore winds.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday morning, September 1st, is our first real standout. The wind drops to a glassy 5 mph from the NNE, and we get a clean 4ft WNW swell. The period is a decent 10 seconds, and the energy is a moderate 288. It's a small window, but for a few hours, Le Porge will be clean and surfable. The afternoon goes back to a choppy cross-on mess, so be on it early.

The next week is a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of poor conditions. The next real highlight comes on Saturday, September 5th. Another glassy morning, this time with a light easterly breeze, and a 4ft WNW swell that has a nice 12-second period. The combined energy is a solid 359. This is a proper groundswell, and the glassy conditions will make for some clean, fun waves.

The following day, Sunday, September 6th, is also worth a look with a clean cross-offshore wind and a 4ft WNW swell. The energy is moderate at 333. It's a good option if you miss Saturday.

Looking further ahead, Tuesday, September 8th, brings a clean, offshore wind from the ESE and a 5ft WNW swell. Again, a solid 11-second period with moderate energy (456). This is a good one for the diary.

And then we have a bit of a flier for the end of the window. The morning of Thursday, September 10th, is rated as very good. We get a 6ft W-WNW swell with a 10-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is a strong 590. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole forecast, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed it holds.

So, the standout picks? That Tuesday morning, September 1st, for the glassy conditions, and the Saturday morning, September 5th, for the longer period groundswell and clean conditions. The Thursday, September 10th session is a real potential ripper, but it's a long-range promise.

Rusty out.
