The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer at Le Porge over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the water's sitting at a warm 74°F which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real bonus if you're getting in.
The first few days are pretty ordinary. Thursday afternoon is a write-off with cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell. Friday morning (4th Sep) shows a brief window with glassy conditions and small 3ft swell from the WNW, but it's nothing to get excited about. The real action starts to build on Saturday the 5th. The early session on Saturday morning looks tidy – a clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a nice offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is moderate (288) and the break should be working. The swell jumps up to 4ft that afternoon with a longer 13-second period, giving it some proper punch (543 energy), but the cross-shore wind kicks in and spoils the shape.
Sunday the 6th is the pick of the first week. Early morning you’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the WNW, with a light offshore wind from the E. The period is a solid 11 seconds, and the energy is moderate (265). This is your best bet for a fun, uncrowded session before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon.
After that, the week goes pretty flat and messy. Monday through to the following Saturday are dominated by onshore and cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. A few sessions show small, surfable waves but nothing worth chasing.
Hold onto your board though, because Sunday the 13th of September is shaping up as the standout. The morning brings a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with a very long 14-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is strong at 604 – that's real groundswell. This kind of long-period swell can break a bit straight on the beach, but Le Porge is exposed to the west, so it should wrap in nicely. Just be aware, with a 4ft swell and that kind of period, it’ll have some push to it, but it’s still manageable for intermediates. Crowds are possible here at times, so get in early.
After that, the second week drops off again. There's a glassy morning on Wednesday the 16th with tiny 2ft surf, and another clean but small session on the 15th, but nothing compares to that Sunday the 13th window. There’s a long gap of poor conditions after that, so if you can, make the call for that Sunday session.
Rusty out.

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.
