The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Le Porge.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf’s not really worth paddling out for until Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. Before that, the wind is messy and the swell is weak or just poorly shaped. So, hold your horses for a few days.
The standout window comes Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’ll see a 4ft swell rolling in from the W, with a period of 11 seconds. The real story here is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions. The water’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, running about 5°F above normal. The combined energy is moderate at 358, so there’s some push. For a beginner-friendly break like Le Porge, this is your best bet – clean, fun little waves. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.
Tuesday afternoon gets blown out by a cross-onshore wind, so don’t expect it to hold.
The next real highlight is a long way off, on Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period, and again, glassy conditions with a slight air. The energy is moderate at 347. This is another sweet morning if you can wait. The swell direction is spot-on for the exposed W-facing beach.
In between, there are a few mornings that are surfable but ordinary – like the 11th, 13th, and 14th of September – with clean winds but small, weak waves. The afternoons are almost always a write-off with the onshore breeze picking up.
Overall, the best plan is to hit the water on Tuesday the 8th or Wednesday the 16th of September in the morning. Everything else is a gamble or just plain poor. The second week is less certain, but that Wednesday morning looks promising.
Stay stoked,
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.
