Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, the first week and a half is dead. From now all the way to the morning of Friday, July 24th, there’s nothing worth bothering with. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly trash, and the energy is weak. Water temp is 74°, which is a huge 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really unusual, feels like a warm bath, but the surf just isn’t there to enjoy it.
That long dry spell finally ends on Friday morning the 24th at Le Porge. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town. We’ve got a 2ft swell out of the WNW with a 9-second period, so it’s small and weak. The best part is the wind – clean offshore from the ESE at 6 mph. The combined energy is only 78 (weak), so the waves will be soft and gutless. Great for beginners, but if you’re looking for power, you’ll be let down. It’ll be glassy and clean though.
Saturday the 25th sees more size, 4ft to 5ft of WNW swell, with moderate energy values of 249 and 336. But the wind is cross-shore from the N and NNW at 12-16 mph, so it’ll be messy and choppy. Period stays at 9 seconds, nothing special.
The only real standout is that Friday morning the 24th. It’s the one window with clean wind in the whole 16 days. Crowds are “sometimes” at Le Porge, so you might see a few others, but with such weak waves, most will skip it.
A tough run of surf. Sometimes you just have to 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.
