The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow start, so patience is the name of the game.
The first real surf window opens up on Thursday, September 17th at Le Porge. The morning session is the one to aim for – glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze from the NE. You're looking at 5ft swell from the WNW, with moderate wave energy (460). The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That Thursday morning is the first proper standout, but it's a brief window as the wind switches in the afternoon. The swell period is 11 seconds, so there's some groundswell in there, which means better shaped waves but longer waits between sets.
After a bit of a lull, Saturday, September 19th morning is the best of the weekend. Clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The swell pushes to 5ft from the WNW, with strong energy (781) and a longer 13-second period. This one is for the experienced crew – the size is getting into expert territory. The afternoon will get blown out, so make the most of the morning.
Sunday the 20th morning is still a good option – clean 3ft surf from the WNW (247 energy) with a light offshore wind. A solid session for intermediate surfers.
Looking into the following week, Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd both have clean, glassy mornings. Monday offers 4ft at 12 seconds, and Tuesday is a smaller 3ft but glassy. Both are worth paddling out for.
The surf drops off mid-week before Friday, September 25th morning brings another glassy session with 3ft, 12-second groundswell and moderate energy (246). A good morning for a fun, smaller board session.
After that, it fades into small, clean conditions but nothing to get the heart racing. The pattern is clear: the mornings are the only chance for clean waves, so plan accordingly.
The standout sessions are the Thursday 17th morning and the Saturday 19th morning – that's where the size, period, and wind all line up. Go get it.
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.
