The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Le Porge.

Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks are gonna be a tough watch for surfers around here. The finder pretty much has a blank run for most of the 16-day window, and when there’s a blank run like this, it’s just one of those periods for this stretch of coast. We do get these lulls.

Things start off flat to tiny on the 24th of July, with a weak 0.7ft to 2ft on Friday that is just poor. That sets the tone for a long, frustrating stretch. From the 24th all the way until the 28th, it’s a mess of onshore wind and weak, short-period swell. On Saturday the 25th, the swell picks up to 5ft but it comes straight from the west-southwest with a horrible onshore wind. The energy is there at 129 (moderate), but the quality is gone. That pattern – bumpy, cross-onshore junk – pretty much holds through Monday the 27th, even with the swell getting a bit better and energy jumping to 269 on Monday afternoon thanks to a longer 10-second period. Still, the wind destroys it.

We finally get a little glimmer on Tuesday morning the 28th of July. The wind goes glassy from the south-southeast at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 3ft NW groundswell with a decent 10-second period. The combined energy is 171 (moderate). For the first time in days, it’s surfable – but honestly, it’s very ordinary. Same goes for Wednesday morning the 29th: cleaner again with a cross-offshore breeze, but only 2ft of swell. It’s small and weak. Le Porge is an exposed beach, so when the swell is this lacking, there’s just not enough push.

If you’ve got the patience, keep an eye on August 1st. On Saturday the 1st of August, there’s a pulse of long-period groundswell arriving with a period of 14 seconds and combined energy readings hitting 453 on the morning and 681 on the afternoon (strong to very strong energy). Swell size goes from 3ft up to 5ft. The big caveat here: the wind is onshore (west and west-northwest), so it’s gonna be lumpy, and the conditions are rated as marginal. That long period will make for better shape in the water, but it’s a westerly swell, which isn’t absolutely perfect for Le Porge. Being an exposed beach break, that long period might make it break a bit fat and straight, but the power is real. Still, because of the wind and the “questionable tide” call, this isn’t a standout pick – just the most interesting swell window in the whole two weeks.

After that, it’s back into the grey zone: poor conditions with cross-onshore wind and weak to moderate energy from the 2nd of August onwards, with nothing breaking the 8ft mark. The water temp is around 74°F – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you’ll be warm while you’re sitting there waiting.

There just isn’t a day I’d shout about. The best on offer is the glassy Tuesday 28th July morning stint for a small clean wave, or the August 1st window for power, but both have serious limitations.

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.
