The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for the next couple of weeks. The setup is a bit of a slow burner, but there are a couple of windows where it really turns on.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a decent swell on the way. The water is sitting at a very unusual 72.9°F – much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.

This coming Sunday morning, the 13th of September, is the first real highlight. We’re looking at clean 3.6ft surf coming from the WNW with a solid 13-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph, so it’s going to be glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 367. This is a great session for a beginner-friendly wave at Le Porge.

Monday morning the 14th is even cleaner. The swell drops a touch to 3.3ft, but the wind goes glass. It’s a WNW swell with an 11-second period and moderate energy at 217. This is a surf-in-the-morning, desk-job-in-the-afternoon kind of day, because it goes to junk after lunch.

There’s a bit of a flat spot mid-week, with Tuesday the 15th really just offering small, ordinary waves. That brings us to the first true standout. Saturday the 19th is the one to circle. The morning has 4.9ft of WNW swell at a 13-second period, with a glassy light southerly wind at 3 mph. The combined energy is strong at 793. This is going to be excellent, consistent, and clean. Just be aware this is a fairly consistent spot, so you won’t be alone. The afternoon onshore kicks in, but the morning will be magic.

Sunday the 20th is a strong follow-up. It’s a similar story: 4.6ft from the WNW, 12-second period, and a light easterly offshore in the morning making it glassy. The energy is solid at 560. Again, mornings are the key.

As we head into the second week, the pattern holds but gets a little more mixed. The Monday the 21st offers 5.2ft with a long 14-second period (moderate energy at 966), but a cross-shore wind keeps it a bit lumpy. Tuesday the 22nd returns to clean 4.3ft waves with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNE. That’s a good call for the morning.

Looking further out to Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th, the energy fades. Swell drops below 3.3ft and the winds get stronger and messier. The 25th of September sees a small (2.0ft) but very clean pulse with a long 14-second period – a glassy morning option for a log or a cruiser board. That’s the standout of the very last segment.

Overall, the focus is on the mornings of the 13th, 14th, 19th, and 20th. Those are the real gems. The rest is a mix of okay and ordinary, especially in the afternoons.

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.
