The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough start. We're looking at a long dry spell of poor surf conditions that stretches all the way from today through the end of July. That's a solid two weeks of barely anything rideable, with the wind and swell sizes just not lining up for us.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny glimmer, doesn't show up until Saturday, the 1st of August. The morning session at Le Porge is the only thing that even gets a score. We're talking about a small, clean wave coming from the WNW at 2 ft. The wind is glassy, so it will be clean as a whistle, but it's a weak energy system, only pushing 58 of that combined energy. Honestly, it's more of a longboard or a learner's session. The swell period is a middling 9 seconds, so don't expect much power. The water is sitting at a warm 78°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
This is a spot that's fairly consistent, but it's a beginner-friendly break, so even when there's a little bump, it's not going to be a world-beater. The afternoon gets messy again, so your window is strictly the morning. The crowds can be a problem here sometimes, but on a day with such small waves, it might be a bit quieter.
Other than that one morning, the entire 16-day outlook is a blank. For the area, a run like this isn't totally abnormal, but it's a bummer. The forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I wouldn't be waxing up the boards just yet.
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.
