The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Porge over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a quiet start. The first few days look pretty flat and messy, so don’t bother paddling out until Saturday the 12th. That morning, we’ll see a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW with clean conditions thanks to a light offshore breeze from the ENE. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s surfable.
The standout session is hands down Sunday morning, the 13th of September. The swell picks up to 4ft from the WNW, and the period jumps to 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The winds go glassy, dead calm from the NE, so the surface will be like a mirror. The combined energy is moderate at 371 – enough to get you moving. This is the best window of the whole forecast. The water is a warm 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit.
Monday morning the 14th is also a clean option with a 3ft, 10-second swell from the WNW and light offshore winds, but the energy is a bit lower at 225. Still a fun session.
Now, there’s a pretty big gap of poor conditions after that. Afternoon winds get messy, and the swell stays small or onshore through the rest of the week. The strongest energy comes in around the 16th and 17th, with 5ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and lumpy. On the 17th, the morning shows 5ft with a 11-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean, but the afternoon wind ruins it.
Looking further out, the real promise is on Monday the 21st of September. That morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period and a proper offshore wind from the E. The energy is strong at 506 – that’s the biggest number in the whole run. The conditions are clean, and the swell is solid. This is a long-range standout, so don’t book the day off yet, but it’s the kind of forecast that gets you excited.
The 23rd of September morning also has a clean 2ft swell from the WNW with a very long 16-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have plenty of push for its size, but it might be a bit straight for the beach break here.
Overall, Le Porge is a fairly consistent spot, so even when it’s flat, it doesn’t stay that way for long. The Sunday the 13th and Monday the 21st are your best bets. Get out there.

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.
