The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for our stretch of coast. The first few days are pretty quiet, but there’s a real pulse of energy building for later on.
The early part of the window is a bit of a write-off. Friday and Saturday have tiny waves and messy winds – you won't miss much by staying on the beach. Sunday morning, the 13th, is where we finally get a little something to work with. We’re seeing a 4ft groundswell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 13 seconds, and the conditions are looking prime with glassy winds. The energy is moderate (367), and it’ll be those cleaner conditions that make it worthwhile for a beginner-friendly spot like Le Porge. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Monday morning the 14th is also a solid call, with a 3ft WNW swell at 10 seconds and clean offshore easterlies, giving us moderate energy (206). The crowds might be a factor since Le Porge can get busy, so get out there early. Thursday the 17th has another glassy morning, this time with a 4ft WNW groundswell at 11 seconds. The energy is packing a punch (387), and those clean, glassy conditions will make for some tidy, lined-up waves.
Now, the real standout for the whole outlook has to be Friday the 25th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a 5ft WNW groundswell at 12 seconds, combined with light ENE cross-offshore winds. The energy is cranking at a solid 680 (strong), and the forecast is calling for very good surf conditions. This is a bit of a step up in size – still okay for confident beginners, but definitely more exciting for everyone else. The long-period nature of this swell (12 seconds) means better shaped, powerful waves, but at a beach break like Le Porge, it might get a little straight. Still, with those clean winds, it’s the best bet of the entire 16-day run. The Saturday morning after, the 26th, also looks clean and fun with a 4ft WNW swell.
So, to boil it down: the first few days are a no-go. Sunday the 13th and Thursday the 17th mornings offer some clean, smaller windows. But the real session to aim for is Friday morning, the 25th of September. It’s a touch far out, so the finer details might shift, but right now it’s looking like the best on offer.
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.

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.
