The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here taking a look at the Le Porge charts. This 16-day stretch is a bit of a slow burn with a punch right at the end.
The ocean is pretty flat to start. The first real chance to paddle out is Tuesday, September 1st. We’ve got a 5ft swell out of the WNW with a 10-second period. The wave energy is moderate at 356. The morning is the only call – a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE is keeping it clean. The afternoon is a total mess with a NNW wind. The water is warm at 74°F, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year.
After that, the swell just disappears. From Wednesday the 2nd right through the first week, it’s tiny and weak. The energy readings are mostly in the double digits, way under 100. You’ll see a 3ft bump on Saturday the 5th, but the wind is onshore and useless. The next week is more of the same – small, messy surf. The morning of Sunday the 6th has a 3ft swell with an 11-second period and a glassy offshore ESE breeze, which would be clean, but it’s just too small.
It’s a long, frustrating gap of very ordinary conditions.
The absolute standout, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Wednesday, September 16th. The ocean finally turns on. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the west. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit jumbled, but the energy is strong at 316. And the real kicker? A light cross-offshore breeze from the NE and clear skies. This is the only time in the whole 16 days that gets a good score. For the experts, that 6ft will be a proper session. Beginners might want to sit this one out.
So, the plan is simple: save your energy for the 16th of September. The rest of the run is a waiting game, but we’ve got one solid session to aim for.
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.
