The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Le Porge. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.
We’re starting off with a pretty rough patch. Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off, with strong cross-onshore winds and messy, poor surf conditions. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels more like the tail end of summer, but the waves aren't playing ball.
Thursday the 10th morning is where we first see a glimmer of hope. The swell drops to 3ft from the WNW (10 sec period) and the wind swings offshore from the East at just 3 mph. It’ll be clean, giving surfable waves, but they're ordinary. The combined energy is weak (182). It’s nothing to write home about.
The real standout, and the best on offer in this whole window, is Saturday the 19th morning. We've got a clean 3ft WNW swell with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (242) and the conditions are set to be good. This is your best bet for a solid session.
Before that, there are a few other windows worth paddling out for. Monday the 14th morning has a clean 3ft, 12 sec period groundswell with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is solid (259). Friday the 18th morning is similar with a moderate offshore wind and a 3ft, 9 sec swell. Then Sunday the 20th morning is another clean window with a 3ft, 12 sec period swell and very light winds.
Looking further out, Thursday the 17th morning has a 5ft WNW swell (11 sec period) with a clean cross-offshore breeze (476 combined energy), but the forecast is marginal with questionable tide conditions. Tuesday the 22nd brings a big pulse of energy—5ft from the WNW with a very long 14 sec period—but it's ruined by strong, messy cross-onshore winds. That setup would be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
All in all, keep your eyes on Saturday the 19th. That's the one.

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.
