Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the outlook for Le Porge is a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much happening. The first few days are all about tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The best we can say is that the water is sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. You’ll get a tiny 2 ft swell from the NW, but the key here is the wind. We’ve got a light 3 mph offshore breeze from the NE, which will clean things right up. The combined swell energy is a weak 50, so it’s not packing much punch, but it’ll be the cleanest surface you’ll see all week. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Then, after another run of tiny, choppy junk, there’s a promising little window early on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning brings a glassy 3 ft from the WNW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 72. It’s nothing to write home about on size, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be your best shot for a few fun, clean waves. The crowds at Le Porge can be a problem sometimes, but on a Tuesday morning with this kind of weak swell, you’ll likely have it mostly to yourself.

After that, it’s back to small, messy, and onshore wind for the rest of the window. The swell tries to pick up a little around the 15th of August, with a 4 ft swell from the NW and a combined energy of 128 (moderate), but it’s coming with a 9 mph cross-onshore wind, roughing it up. It’s a kite-surfing setup more than a paddler’s dream.

Honestly, if you’re hanging for a wave, the standouts are those two mornings: Friday the 7th and Tuesday the 11th. The rest of the 16 days is a whole lot of waiting.
