The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.

For the first few days, we’re in a bit of a waiting game. After Wednesday, the 2nd, we’ve got a stretch of really small, weak surf. The swell energy is barely registering (86 on Wednesday), and on Thursday, it drops even further. The wind is doing us no favours, mostly cross-onshore, so even the tiny waves are messy. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.

We start to see a glimmer of hope on Friday morning, the 4th. It’s still tiny, 2 ft from the WNW, but the wind goes glassy. It’s a real treat for the eyes, but the waves themselves are just ordinary. You’d be out there for the peace and quiet, not the rides.

The real action starts to build on Saturday, the 5th. The morning session is the one to target. We’ve got a clean 3 ft WNW swell, with a light offshore breeze. The swell energy jumps to moderate (206), and the conditions are described as clean. This is the best bet of the first week. The afternoon gets blown out by a cross-shore, so get out early.

There’s a pulse of longer period swell (12 seconds) on Sunday the 6th, pushing 3 ft, but the wind is onshore. It’s a bit of a tease. The same goes for Monday the 7th, with a very long period (16 seconds) 2 ft swell, but it’s onshore again. The water temperature is about average for the time of year at Le Porge.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a few mornings with cross-offshore winds (like the 11th and 12th), but the swell is small and weak. The energy values are in the double digits, so don’t expect much.

The standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. This is a big one. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the WNW, with a long period of 12 seconds. The wind is glassy – dead calm. The swell energy is a massive 629 (very strong). This is a true expert-level day, as that size is too much for beginners. The conditions are described as “very good,” and for good reason. It’s a long way out, so the forecast might shuffle, but if it holds, it’s the day of the fortnight.

We finish off with a nice clean morning on Thursday the 17th, with a 4 ft NW swell and a light offshore wind. Another solid option for the patient surfer.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a write-off until Saturday. The second week has some small, clean windows, but the absolute peak is that Wednesday the 16th. Keep your eyes on that one.

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.

Le Porge is 27 km (17 miles) from Arcachon. If you plan a holiday in Gironde, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arcachon. Arcachon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
