Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Porge over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next two weeks for Le Porge are a real struggle. There’s a long stretch of nothing worth getting wet for, and it’s not until the very end of the period that we see a flicker of life. The water is currently a warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Right now, Monday the 13th, we’ve got a weak 4 ft W swell pushing through, but it’s getting hammered by a strong cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a poor 105 (moderate), and it’s just messy. This pattern is our reality for the next ten days. We go from tiny, wind-chopped waves to almost nothing. The swell drops to 1 ft on Thursday the 16th, and while we get a couple of glassy mornings on the 19th and 20th, the swell is simply too small to ride. The 21st of July has a beautiful glassy morning with 2 ft NW swell, but again, it’s just not enough.
Then, we hit a gap. From the 22nd through the 26th, the conditions are a mix of small, cross-onshore junk and clean but tiny drifts. Honestly, it’s a write-off for a solid week.
Finally, on Monday the 27th of July, things start to stir. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 151 (moderate). The bad news? The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be that clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday the 28th sees a similar story with 3 ft NW swell and 102 energy, but still cross-onshore. The best bet, if you’re desperate, is the early morning of Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th. On the 24th, we have a *glassy* morning with a 3 ft W swell (64 energy), and on the 25th, we have *offshore* conditions with a clean 1 ft WNW swell (57 energy).
For a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break like Le Porge, this is a tough run. The swell is just too weak and the wind is generally wrong. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger cross-shore winds on the 20th and 21st might look more interesting than a paddle. But for a surf, you’re looking at a long wait. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a lean period.
Stay frothy,
Rusty

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.
