The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what Le Porge has cooking for us. This is a long-range look, so keep that in mind.
Right off the bat, the first week is a bit of a struggle. The surf is on the small side, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. The water is sitting at a very warm 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate, topping out in the 300s to 400s (319-489), but it's just not lining up with clean wind.
We’ve got a gap from the start until the morning of Friday the 11th before we see anything worth paddling out for. Friday morning the 11th is a little tease – glassy conditions, but only 2ft of swell and weak energy (77). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Saturday the 12th morning is glassy again, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and the energy is weak (65). Not a standout.
The real first hope comes on Sunday morning the 13th. The wind goes cross-offshore, the sea goes clean, and we have a 2ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 13 seconds. The energy is moderate at 275. It’s a small, clean morning for the patient surfer. Monday the 14th morning is similar – clean, cross-off wind, 3ft from the WNW with a 12-second period, and moderate energy (218). Consistent but not big.
The highlight of the whole outlook is Friday morning the 18th of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at 5ft of WNW groundswell with a 12-second period, combined energy climbing to a strong 573. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNE, and the surf is clean. This is going to be a proper session for the experienced crew. Because the swell is right at 5ft, it might be a bit much for total beginners, but for everyone else, get ready.
Saturday the 19th morning keeps the clean, cross-off wind with 4ft of WNW swell (325 energy), and Sunday the 20th afternoon also looks clean with 3ft of WNW swell (218 energy) and cross-off wind.
Overall, the pick of the period is Friday the 18th morning. It’s a standout session. The rest is mostly small, clean windows with some longer-period groundswell, but nothing that will blow your mind. Hang in there.
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.
