Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Porge over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk Le Porge in feet and miles per hour. Over the next two weeks there’s just no surf worth chasing. The swell stays tiny – most days under 3 feet – and the wind is almost always cross‑onshore or onshore, ruining any shape. The water’s running about 73°F right now, which is nearly 5°F warmer than usual – that’s the only notable thing. The waves? Pretty much a complete dud.
Start of the period, Tuesday 7th afternoon: a weak 1ft WNW swell with a 15 km/h cross‑onshore breeze – poor. Wednesday and Thursday stay small and choppy. Through the first week it’s all onshore slop.
The only half‑decent window is Saturday 11th July morning. Swell’s still only 2ft from the WNW, 9‑second period, but the wind drops to glassy – clean as a mirror. Combined energy is just 70 – weak. You might grab a few knee‑high waves if you’re really keen. The report calls it “surfable but very ordinary” – that’s the best we get.
Sunday 12th morning has a light offshore breeze from the east (5 km/h) and clean conditions, but again only 2ft. Worth a paddle if you’re a beginner, but nothing exciting.
Midweek is all poor. Friday 17th sees a bump to 4ft from the west, 7‑second period, combined energy 124 – moderate energy – but the onshore wind makes it messy and unappealing.
Monday 20th July morning is glassy again with 3ft from the west‑northwest, 5‑second period, weak energy 68. Clean but fat and gutless.
So, no good surf anywhere in this 16‑day forecast. You get a few clean windows but the waves are just too small. Le Porge can go through flat spells – this is one of them. Don’t stress, forecasts change, but right now there’s nothing to plan a session around.

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.
