The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and discouraging. The first real chance to get wet is on Monday morning, the 27th of July, at Le Porge. We've got a modest 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a 9-second period, but the wind is coming from the north at 9 mph, making it a messy cross-shore. The combined energy of the swell is a moderate 292, but it's just not lining up for anything clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
That Monday afternoon things get worse, and Tuesday the 28th is a bit of a tease. Tuesday morning, the wind goes glassy, coming from the east at just 3 mph, which is a major positive. The swell drops to 3ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the energy dials back to 175. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The glassy conditions will make it look clean, but it’s tiny. After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From the 29th of July right through to the 9th of August, the conditions are just poor or non-existent. The swell is too weak, the wind is mostly onshore, and the scores are a big zero. You’d be better off waxing your board and waiting.
Now, here’s where it gets a little interesting. The only standout in this whole 16-day window is shaping up for Monday, the 10th of August. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the trip just yet, but keep an eye on it. A solid 5ft swell from the WNW is forecast, with a combined energy of 268. It’s a bit short-period at 8 seconds, which is a slight bummer, but the wind is light from the west at 6 mph, so it’s not a total write-off. It’s the only day in the whole forecast that has any real hope of a decent wave. Given the near-total lack of anything else, that Monday morning is the best on offer, even if it’s just a marginal call.
Other than that, the 11th of August has a 4ft swell but with a terrible 6-second period and a cross-shore wind, so it’s not a recommendation.
So, the long and short of it: the next 10 days are a write-off. Keep your eyes on that Monday the 10th. It’s the only light in the tunnel.
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.
