The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the crap.
The next 16 days at Le Porge are mostly a bust. Water temp is a warm 75°F, which is about 5°F warmer than normal – feels like a heated pool. But the waves? They’re just not playing ball.
The first few days are a total loss. Sunday and Monday are blown out with onshore and cross-shore winds flattening out the weak energy. The wave energy is low (162 to 413), and the swell is short and weak (7-9 seconds). It’s all crumble and bump.
The one and only window, and I mean the only one, is Tuesday morning, 28 July. The wind goes light offshore from the East at just 3 mph. The swell is a waist-high 3 feet from the WNW with a 10-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (175). It’ll be clean, glassy, and surfable. It’s not a mind-blower, but it’s the best you’ll get. The crowds are “sometimes” a thing, but for this quality, it’ll be quiet.
Then it’s a huge gap. From Wednesday 29 July through the rest of the first week, it’s all tiny, weak, and onshore. The swell drops to 1-2 feet. There’s a faint hope on Thursday 6 August morning with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still only 3 feet with a short 7-second period. It’s barely surfable.
The second week is a total dud. Friday 7 August through Monday 10 August is a mix of ankle-biters and wonky wind. The best of the worst is Sunday 9 August morning with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 1 foot. Don’t bother.
So, Tuesday morning, 28 July is your only chance. It’s a clean, waist-high session. The rest of the 16 days is a flat spell. Keep your hopes up, the forecast might change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
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.
