The Lowdown

Right, gather round. Rusty here, looking at what’s on the cards for the Le Porge stretch for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a lot of days with barely a ripple and the wind is gonna be a real pain in the arse for most of it. The water’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Let’s be honest, the first week is grim. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the following Tuesday the 11th, it’s almost a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, short-period windswell, mostly in the 0.7ft to 3ft range, with the combined wave energy barely cracking triple digits (mostly between 14 and 112) – that’s weak stuff. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. There’s a couple of fleeting moments, like Friday morning the 7th, where a light offshore from the ENE gives a clean window, but the swell is only 3ft and the energy is weak (60). Then again on Tuesday morning the 11th, we get glassy conditions and a slight air, but again, it’s just 2ft with poor energy (58). These are just ordinary, not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate for a paddle.

There’s a real gap in the action here. We basically go from the 5th until the morning of Friday the 14th before we see anything that might get your heart rate up. The morning of the 14th has a light cross-off breeze and a 2ft swell with a bit more period (10 seconds) and energy hits 100, which is better, but the afternoon gets blown out again.

Now, the only thing that truly stands out in this whole outlook is way down the line. Look at the 18th of August. We see a solid jump in size. Tuesday the 18th, we’ve got a 8ft to 8ft swell from the WNW, with the combined energy skyrocketing to 755 in the morning and over 1000 in the afternoon (1044). That’s proper strong energy. The period is 9 to 10 seconds, a solid groundswell. But here’s the catch, mate: the wind is cross-on in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. That kind of size at Le Porge, a beach break, with onshore wind is going to be a big, lumpy, closeout mess. This is really only for the experts, and even then, it’s not going to be clean. A spot like this with that much swell and onshore wind might actually be more interesting for the kite crew than a paddle surfer.

The next day, Wednesday the 19th of August, offers a slightly better bet. The swell drops to a still-chunky 6ft in the morning (energy 561) with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light cross-shore from the north. That’s going to be a lot cleaner and more manageable for the stronger surfers out there. It’s not a perfect barrel, but it’s the best of a pretty average bunch. Be aware, that size (over 5ft) will be too much for the beginners, and the 6ft is pushing into expert-only territory, especially at a beach break. After that, it drops back down to nothing.

So, if you’re looking for the one true standout here, hold out for the morning of the 19th of August. The 18th has the size, but the wind is going to ruin it. Remember, this is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but that’s the best we’ve got. For the rest of the time, save your wax.

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.
