The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch over to feet and miles per hour for the crew who think in yards.
First week is flat and shabby. Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th are basically nothing—tiny slop, rain, onshore wind. The water is warmer than usual at 25°, but that’s about the only good news.
Thursday 27th morning goes glassy, but the swell is barely 1 foot from the WNW. Not worth gearing up.
Friday 28th brings a jump to 8 to 10 feet, but it’s a cross-onshore gale. The energy numbers are huge—585 to 1331—but it’s messy as hell. This is kite territory, not paddle.
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th are still wonky—5 feet dropping to 4 feet, but the wind is cross-onshore. Sunday morning scrapes a “marginal” call, but don’t get excited.
Monday 31st, forget it.
Tuesday 1st September morning is the first real highlight. Glassy offshore wind, 5 feet from the WNW with an 11-second period. The energy is strong at 487, and the forecast says “good surf conditions.” Clean, punchy, and fun. Get it early because the afternoon turns.
Wednesday 2nd September morning is even better. Dead calm, glassy as hell, 6 feet from the WNW with a 9-second period and energy of 563. The forecast says “very good.” This is your session of the first half.
After that, the surf goes quiet again until Monday 7th—small, choppy, onshore junk.
Then it’s game time. Tuesday 8th September morning: a monster 15 feet from the west with an 18-second period. Energy is a ridiculous 11327. The wind is light offshore and conditions are clean. But this is for pros only. Over 8 feet is big, and with that long period, it will be heavy and powerful. The afternoon is still 12 feet but lumpy from cross-shore wind.
Wednesday 9th September morning settles to 6 feet from the WNW, 13-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and energy of 1075. The forecast says “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is your safer big day.
Top picks for most: Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd September mornings. For the big dogs: Tuesday 8th September morning.
Rusty out.

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.
