The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this forecast for Le Porge is pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy winds that will make you question why you even packed a board. The only moments worth paddling out are few and far between, so keep your expectations in check.

We start on Thursday the 23rd of July and there's barely a ripple. The ocean's flat as a tack with a 0.7 ft swell from the west. The water is absolutely balmy at 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year by over 7°, so you'll be comfortable in boardies, but there's nothing to ride.

Friday the 24th is more of the same, just ankle-biters. The swell hangs around 0.7 ft with an offshore breeze in the morning, which would be nice for a paddle, but not for surfing.

We finally see a pulse on Saturday the 25th, with the swell climbing to 4 ft from the west-southwest. The combined energy hits 146, so there's some life. But it's onshore, choppy, and the period is a short 6 seconds, meaning it’s a wind-slop mess. Not worth getting wet.

Sunday the 26th offers up 5 ft from the west-northwest, but again, the wind is cross-onshore and the period is weak. The energy reaches 222, but the quality is poor. It's a frustrating look.

Monday the 27th sees a bit more period, up to 9 seconds, with 5 ft swell from the west-northwest and energy at 300. Still, the cross-onshore wind spoils it. It's surfable, but it's lumpy and won't be any fun.

Now, listen closely – the only real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 28th. The morning shows a glassy, flat calm sea. A 3 ft, 10-second period groundswell from the west-northwest will be rolling in. The energy is moderate at 164. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest wave we’ll see all forecast. That morning session will be ordinary but glassy, and the only time you might get a fun little wave.

After that, it's back into the doldrums. The rest of the week and into the start of August offers nothing but small, weak, and wind-affected waves. From the 29th of July right through to the 7th of August, we're looking at swell heights struggling to hit 3 ft, mostly with onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few mornings on the 4th and 7th of August show a clean, offshore breeze, but the swell is just too tiny – 1.0 ft to 2 ft. The 6th of August morning is glassy again, but the swell is only 1 ft.

Overall, a real tough run. This is one of those blank runs where the ocean just isn't cooperating. If you're desperate and have a longboard, the Tuesday 28th of July morning is your best, and maybe your only, bet. For the rest, it’s a long wait.

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.
