Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about the next couple of weeks at Le Porge. It’s not going to be a classic stretch, but there are a few windows where a frother can get a decent one. The water is sitting at 73°F and that’s a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

We’ve got a slow start. The first few days are pretty messy. Friday afternoon kicks off with a weak 3ft onshore swell, but the cross-on wind ruins it. Saturday morning will see the swell drop to 2ft, but a light glassy breeze from the NNE will make it look clean. It’s surfable, just average. Saturday afternoon the wind picks up again, so forget that. Sunday morning is where it starts to get interesting. The swell jumps to 4ft with a 13-second period from the WNW, and it’s glassy. That’s got good energy (367) and will be the first real chance for a clean one. Look out for the long period – at over 12 seconds, it might be a bit straight at the beach, but it's worth a paddle. Sunday arvo the cross-on wind kills it.

Monday morning (14 September) is another good one. Swell drops a touch to 3ft but it’s a clean 10-second swell with offshore E wind. That’s a proper clean option with moderate energy (206). After that, we hit a bit of a flat, weak patch. Tuesday and Wednesday are both smaller and bumpy with cross-shore and onshore winds. Not worth your time.

Now, here’s the standout of the whole window. Thursday morning, 17 September. That’s the one. Swell builds to 5ft with an 11-second period from the WNW, and the wind is light cross-off from the NNE. The energy is a strong 433. This is a proper clean, lined-up session. The size is still friendly for most surfers, and the light offshore will keep the walls nice and clean. This is the best on offer.

Friday (18th) is a step down, with onshore wind messing up the morning and cross-on in the arvo. The swell drops off. But hold on – the next standout comes a day later. Saturday morning, 19 September. Another beauty. Swell pushes back up to 4ft, 12-second period from the WNW, and we get clean offshore ENE wind. Energy is solid at 385. That’s another session you won’t want to miss. The arvo picks up a cross-shore breeze, so get out early.

Then we move into the quieter stuff. Sunday (20th) has a clean but small 3ft morning with offshore E wind – surfable, but nothing special. The following week looks more inconsistent. There’s a small clean window on Monday (21st) morning with 3ft and SE cross-off wind, but it’s average. Tuesday (22nd) has a 3ft option but with light cross-shore wind, and it’s listed as marginal – probably tide issues. Wednesday and Thursday break down with onshore winds and average waves. The last couple of days in the window (25th – 26th) are weak and bumpy, dropping right off.

So, bottom line: get out on Sunday 13th morning for the first taste, but the real sizzle is on Thursday 17th and Saturday 19th mornings. These are the cleanest, best-energy windows of the whole outlook. The weekend in between is your best bet. Stay patient, pick your mornings, and you’ll score.
