Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Le Porge over the next sixteen days. Honestly, for a while there it’s looking pretty average, but there is a bit of a treat waiting for those who can hold on.

For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break, Le Porge is what we’ve got. The water’s sitting at 73°F right now, which feels much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the chill won't be an issue.

The first week is a real write-off. From Tuesday the 15th through to Friday the 18th, it’s all poor surf conditions with onshore, cross-shore, or choppy winds mushing up the small swell. The wave energy is weak to moderate but the wind just won’t play ball. You’d be wasting your time.

Now, Saturday the 19th of September morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a solid 13-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare combination. The combined energy is strong, and for a break like this, that clean 5ft is going to be super fun and user-friendly for beginners. This is the best surf on offer in the whole outlook. Get on it early before the wind shifts.

Sunday the 20th morning cleans up a touch with a light NE cross-off wind and 4ft from the WNW, but that afternoon the wind picks up again. There’s a bit of a gap of average to poor days after that, with small swell and messy winds, until we hit Wednesday the 23rd of September morning. That’s another crisp one – 2ft from the west, 14-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. It’s small, but it will be glassy and lined up. The energy is moderate, so don't expect power, but for a longboard or a foamie, it’ll be a joy.

After that, there’s a long stretch of cross-off winds but small, weak swell until the very end of the month. The Saturday the 26th of September afternoon session is worth a look – a jump to 5ft from the west with a very long 16-second period, giving it strong energy. That’s a solid groundswell, but at this beach break it might wall up a bit straight. Still, for an expert on a bigger board it could be well overhead and fun. The wind is cross-off from the NNE, keeping it clean.

Finally, Monday the 28th of September morning has that magic word again: glassy. 3ft from the WNW with 11-second period and dead calm winds. The energy is light, but the conditions will be perfect for a gentle, clean session.

The last couple of days fall away into tiny, weak swell and onshore winds. Overall, if you’re a beginner or just want clean, small waves, Saturday the 19th morning is your absolute winner. For anyone wanting a bit more power, keep an eye on the 26th afternoon, but that’s one for the experienced crew only.
