Alright, Rusty here, and let’s have a chat about what’s brewing for our local corner of the coast.
First up, the overall pattern is looking, well, pretty quiet. Don't get your hopes up too high for the next couple of weeks because the surf is set to be small and messy for the vast majority of the time. There aren't any real standout swells to get excited about, so we’re in for a long, drawn-out period of lacklustre conditions. The water temp is a scorching 78°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year at Le Porge – a real anomaly that’s nice for a dip but won't help the waves any.
The first bit of surfable, ridable swell doesn't actually kick in until Sunday the 5th of July. It’s tiny, only 2ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, giving us weak energy (98). The morning is the time to get out as there’s a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. It’s not going to be anything special – just ordinary, surfable waves.
After that, the surf goes back downhill for several days. The week from Monday the 6th through to Sunday the 13th is mostly junk. The swell stays tiny to non-existent, with heights from 1ft up to maybe 2ft and periods fluctuating. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. There’s a small window on Monday morning the 6th with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft (55 energy) – barely enough for a longboard. This long stretch of small, weak swell and poor wind is pretty normal for this region, unfortunately.
There’s a hint of something in the second week, but it’s not looking much better. Around Wednesday the 15th of July and the following weekend, there’s an uptick in size. Wednesday morning sees 3ft from the WNW but with a short, choppy period of 7 seconds and cross-on wind, so the wave quality takes a hit. The energy picks up to moderate, hitting 141. The real peak, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 18th. The morning has 3ft at 9 seconds from the WNW with a light cross breeze, while the afternoon jumps to a more noticeable 4ft from the NW but gets hammered by a cross-on 12 mph wind. The wave energy does get up to a moderate 308, which is the most we’ll see in this whole outlook.
Given the size is staying under 5ft for beginners and well under 8ft for everyone, the big issue here is quality. The only possible highlight is the morning of Saturday the 18th, where the light wind might offer a short window of cleaner waves. The consistent cross-on wind that kicks in most afternoons will shred any chance of decent shape. There's no single standout day for this area in this forecast.
Look, I gotta be straight with you. This is a bleak run for Le Porge. If the wind was right, the beach setup could handle small swell, but the conditions are stacked against us.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
Le Porge is 27 km (17 miles) from Arcachon. If you plan a holiday in Gironde, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arcachon. Arcachon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
