Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, grab a coffee, sit down. Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what the Atlantic’s got for us over the next couple of weeks at Le Porge.

First up, the water is sitting at 74°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 5°F above the average. Don’t expect that to last, but for now, it’s a treat.

The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got some pulses of energy coming in, but the wind is going to be the main story—it’s going to mess with a lot of these sessions. The first real standout window is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. Early doors, we’ve got a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at just 6 mph cleaning up a 3ft swell from the WNW. Energy is moderate (269), with a clean surface. That’s your best bet for the first week—small but workable, and you’ll have the place mostly to yourself if you’re keen.

Now, the real highlight is Friday morning, the 11th of September. Glassy conditions, wind is dead calm, and we’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW. The energy is a solid 208, and the period is a nice 9 seconds. It’s not a giant day, but with the water flat and the waves lining up clean, this is the best session on the whole outlook. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few others out, but it won’t be a circus.

Sunday morning, the 6th also deserves a mention. A 4ft WNW swell with a cross-off breeze from the SE at 6 mph. Energy is up to 297, with a decent 11-second period. Clean conditions again. It’s a good, fun morning for a log or a fish.

After that first week, the second week gets patchy. There’s a lot of onshore wind and choppy junk. Monday morning, the 14th, there’s a clean 3ft WNW swell with a cross-off breeze from the NE at 9 mph – energy is 157, and it’s surfable, but nothing to get too excited about. Saturday morning, the 19th, we get a moderate offshore from the E at 12 mph cleaning up a 2ft WNW swell. That’s a knee-high day for the longboarders who want to feel the glide, but the energy is weak (46).

Between these highlights, you’ll hit a lot of “no-go” windows – particularly during the afternoons where the sea breeze kicks in strong from the NW at 12–19 mph or from the WSW. The swell doesn’t get big enough to overcome that chop.

Overall, nothing huge on the cards, but the Saturday the 5th morning and especially the Friday the 11th morning are the ones to circle. The rest of the time, expect to be checking the forecast again.

Rusty.
