The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions that runs from now, Sunday the 19th, all the way through to the end of the month. There’s just no real swell to speak of, and when there is a little bump, the wind is messing it up. You’ll be staring at mostly cross-shore breezes, onshore slop, and tiny, weak waves. It’s gonna be a grind.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Sunday the 2nd of August at Le Porge. Even then, it’s not a day to get the family together for a party. We’re looking at a small, clean 2ft swell from the WNW. The period is a decent 10 seconds, which is a groundswell, so there’s a bit of shape in it. The key here is the wind. On Sunday morning we’ve got a light offshore from the E, and then Sunday afternoon it goes glassy with a NNE breeze. That’s a major positive. The water is a toasty 79°, which is a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The combined energy is weak (68), so it’s a mellow session. If you’re an absolute beginner, this is the only window that’s even worth a paddle. For everyone else, it’s a desperation slide.
The outlook after that Monday the 3rd quickly fades back into nothing. This is a blank run, and for this area, it’s not totally abnormal to have a flat spell like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re waiting for that Sunday the 2nd.
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.
