The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our neck of the woods. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some definite windows of opportunity hiding in there. We’ve got a bit of a quiet spell to kick things off, so don’t get your hopes up for the first few days.

Right, the first real chance to get wet comes around on Thursday the 17th in the morning. Out at Le Porge, we’re looking at a 5ft swell from the west-northwest. It’s got a nice long period of 11 seconds, which means proper groundswell energy that should wrap in with some shape. The combined energy is moderate at 460, so there’s a bit of push behind it, but don’t expect it to be firing. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is a rare treat – just small crossing ripples. It’s a bit marginal for a stand-out, but it’s the first sign of life after a slow start. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year at 73°F.

Now, the real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the following Saturday morning, the 19th. This is the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a nice 5ft west-northwest swell riding in with a very long period of 13 seconds – that’s serious groundswell. The wave energy tops out at a strong 781. But the key here is the wind: it’s glassy. Dead flat. For a spot like Le Porge, that’s as good as it gets for clean conditions. The waves should be lined up and holding their shape well. This one is going to be worth getting up early for. Just be aware that with a period that long, the sets can be quite spaced out, and at a beach break it might break a little straight on the steeper sections, but with that offshore flow, you’ll be smiling.

The following Sunday morning, the 20th is also worth a mention. It’s a touch smaller at 4ft, but we’ve got a clean, offshore breeze from the east-northeast, making for some tidy waves. It’s a good follow-up session if you miss the Saturday peak.

Looking further ahead, keep an eye on Thursday the 24th morning. Another glassy morning with a 5ft west-northwest swell and a 13-second period. The energy is back up to 629, which is strong. This one is a few days out, so treat it as a promising prospect, but the signs are good for another clean, punchy session, if you can get the time off.

After that, the surf settles back down into smaller, cleaner but less powerful conditions towards the end of the month. The 27th and 28th are looking pretty weak with very little energy.

So, to keep it simple: forget the start of the week, aim for Saturday the 19th morning – that’s your best bet by a long shot. The water is warm, the waves have grunt, and it’s going to be glassy. Get amongst it.

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.
