Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf to speak of for the first few days, and then it’s a real mixed bag. The first proper recommendation doesn't roll around until Monday the 14th of July, so if you’re itching to get wet before that, you’re going to be let down. There’s a solid eight or nine days of pretty ordinary conditions before anything worth getting excited about shows up.
The only spot in the frame is Le Porge. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly beach break that picks up a W swell best. The whole period is dominated by small, weak swell – mostly around 2 ft to 2 ft. The wave energy is low for most of it, with combined swell energy values sitting in the 50s, 60s, and 80s early on (weak to low moderate). Only on Tuesday the 21st of July do we see a jump to 162 (moderate energy), but the winds are onshore that morning, so it’s a no-go.
The real standout – the only one worth putting a pin in – is the morning of Monday the 14th of July. That morning, Le Porge goes glassy with a clean 2 ft swell out of the west, a period of 12 seconds (a nice groundswell), and combined energy of 82. Conditions are described as glassy, which is a massive plus. This is a tiny wave, but it will be clean, lined up, and perfect for a beginner or someone wanting to cruise on a longboard. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, the onshores and cross-shore winds just keep wrecking things. The afternoon of the 14th gets choppy, and from then on it’s a run of onshore winds, small swell, and messy conditions. The best of the rest is the morning of the 21st of July with a 4 ft swell from the NW and moderate energy (162), but with 12 mph onshore winds, that’s blown out and only for the most committed.
So the takeaway: zero surf for over a week, then a single glassy morning on the 14th of July for ankle-to-knee high peelers at Le Porge. After that, it’s back to waiting. For an exposed beach break like this, the smaller periods in the second week (5-8 seconds) mean weak, short-period windswell, so the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don't expect much, but forecasts can change.
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.
Le Porge is 27 km (17 miles) from Arcachon. If you plan a holiday in Gironde, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arcachon. Arcachon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
