The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check out the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run for a while. The first solid week or so is a write-off for any sort of decent surf. From August 4th right through to around mid-month, we’re looking at small, weak, choppy dribble. The combined swell energy is mostly in the weak zone, with readings around 60-80, nothing that’ll get your heart pumpin’. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just messes things up. Even when the wind lays down, the swell’s not there. There is a brief window on the morning of Friday, August 7th where it goes clean with a light offshore from the NE, but the swell’s only 2.6ft from the NW with a short 6-second period. It’s surfable, but really ordinary.

We’ve got a long gap with no real recommendations until we get to Monday, August 18th. That’s when things finally pick up, but there’s a catch. The morning of the 18th brings a 6.6ft W swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy ramps up to 533 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is light cross-onshore from the WSW, so it’s not perfect. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind.

The real standout though, looks to be Wednesday, August 19th. This is the best offer on the table. The morning shows a solid 9.8ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period – that’s some proper groundswell energy, with a combined energy reading of 1962 – that’s very strong. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, so it should be clean. But listen, that’s a big swell. At 9.8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. This is way too big for beginners, and it’s going to be a heavy, powerful wave. For a beach break like Le Porge, a long period swell like this can break a bit straight, so it might not hold the best shape, but for the big-wave crew, this is a serious session.

Up until that point, the water temp is about 75.7°F, which the data tells me is about *much warmer than normal* – a notable anomaly of 4.9°F warmer than average for this time of year. So you’ll be in shorties or maybe even boardshorts.

So, to wrap it up: a whole lotta nothing for the first two weeks, but a big, powerful swell arrives on the 19th. That’s your only real shot, and it’s only for the brave. If you’re a beginner, sit this one out. The setup is a beach break, so with that much swell and wind, it could also look interesting for the kite crew rather than paddle surfing.

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.

Le Porge is 27 km (17 miles) from Arcachon. If you plan a holiday in Gironde, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arcachon. Arcachon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
