Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Le Porge.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough slog. The forecast is almost completely flat for the whole period. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell that barely gets going. The best of the best here is a real stretch, and honestly, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping. For the first week, from Saturday the 11th right through to the end of the week, the swell is mostly below 2 ft with periods that are short and weak. The combined energy is almost always in the double digits, with not a single reading reaching strong energy. Most days sit under 100, which is just weak, gutless stuff. The wind is also a constant problem, with cross-onshore and onshore winds dominating, making it choppy and messy. There’s only one real standout, and that’s a small window.
The best chance for a surf comes up on the morning of Sunday the 12th of July. The wind goes offshore from the ESE at 15 mph, which is a strong, clean signal. The swell is only 2 ft at 9 seconds from the WNW, so it’s small, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be clean and lined up. This is a beginner-friendly break, so the size is fine. The combined energy is a weak 49, so don’t expect any power. For a true beginner, this is the one morning to get out there and have a go. Expect crowds as it’s ‘sometimes’ busy.
After that, we’re back to the grind. The rest of the 16 days is a real write-off. The swell tries to bump up a little around the 21st and 22nd of July, with a 4 ft and 5 ft swell from the NW, and the combined energy hitting 101 and 179 respectively, which is weak to moderate. But the wind is cross-onshore and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a lully, messy, close-out situation. Not worth the paddle.
Overall, the water is about 74°F and is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only upside. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent onshore wind and small, weak waves might make it interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a long, blank run. The area is known for this kind of flat spell, so don’t be surprised. Keep checking back, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
