The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for Le Porge. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch of the Atlantic is looking tough. We’ve got a long, drawn-out period of small, messy conditions ahead before we might get a tiny window of something half-decent. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, for Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd, the ocean is giving us almost nothing. We’re looking at waves barely 1 feet, coming from the west with a short period around 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is tiny, reading 46 and 35 (weak), and the wind is coming straight onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and bumpy. Let’s be real—this isn’t surf, it’s just washing machine conditions. Keep the board in the car.

Tuesday the 4th of August morning is the first flicker of hope. The wind drops to glassy, dead calm, with a light offshore from the NNW. Swell is still small at 2 feet from the west, period is 9 seconds, and the energy is only 58 (still weak). The model calls it "surfable but very ordinary." You might get a few crumbly, waist-high lines if you’re patient, but don’t expect much. The rest of that day and the next two days are back to cross-onshore junk with similar tiny swell.

Thursday the 6th of August afternoon sees a slight pulse: 4 feet from the NW with a short 8-second period, and energy hits 143 (moderate). But it’s all blown out by a 15 mph cross-onshore NNW wind. It’s gonna be messy and choppy. Not really a surfer’s day.

We get another glassy, calm morning on Saturday the 8th of August, with 2 feet from the NW and a short 6-second period. Combined energy is 40 (weak). Again, “surfable but very ordinary.” You could go for a paddle and a few slow rollers, but that’s it.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting—but also messy. On Sunday the 9th of August morning, the swell jumps to 6 feet from the WNW, with a 7-second period and energy of 296 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell in the whole run. But the wind is a cross-onshore WNW at 9 mph, and they’re calling it “poor surf conditions.” The water’s still warm at around 75° (a couple degrees warmer than normal, so it’s a pleasant bath). But the truth is, with that size and a short period combined with onshore wind, this spot is going to be a messy, lumpy closeout. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just too blown out for a clean ride.

After that, it fades back to tiny junk through to the end of the 16 days. The mornings of the 16th and 17th of August have cleanish cross-offshore or light winds, but the swell is back to 1–2 feet with energy in the 20s (weak). You could catch a knee-high wave on the 16th morning with that light SE wind, but that’s a serious stretch.

So, here’s the bottom line: the only break worth mentioning is *Le Porge* itself. It’s a beginner-friendly, exposed beach, fairly consistent but the whole forecast is a tough one. The best you’re gonna get is Tuesday 4th August morning for those glassy, clean but small waves, and maybe Saturday 8th August morning for another glassy paddle. If you’re an experienced surfer, nothing here is going to get your heart rate up. For the rest of us, it’s a solid two-week wait for real waves. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can’t stay this flat forever.

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.
