The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let me break this down for you. Looking at the next 16 days for Le Porge, from the 18th of July through the 2nd of August, we’ve got a big gap of nothing. The first time you’d even think about paddling out is the morning of the 29th of July. That’s more than a week of flat or messy conditions.
The water is a balmy 79°F, which is way, way warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only real chance for a surf comes right at the end of the month. On the morning of the 29th of July, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NW, but the wind is glassy – just 3 mph from the SSE. It’s dead calm. The wave energy is still weak, but for a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s the only clean window we get. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and it’s choppy again.
The morning of the 30th of July is your next best bet. The swell sticks around at 2ft from the NW, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSE at 6 mph. The combined energy is a bit higher, and it’ll be clean. The wave period is short, so it’s just a weak windswell, but for a beach break like Le Porge, it’ll be ridable on a longboard.
After that, the 31st of July and into August is back to tiny, onshore junk.
So, your best bet is the morning of the 29th of July for the glass. The 30th of July morning is the next best. Don’t expect much. It’s a long wait for a small wave.
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.
