The Lowdown

Alright, let's get real for a second. The next few days are a total bust. Thursday and Friday are just tiny little slop with onshore junk, nothing worth paddling out for. The water's running much warmer than normal, about 77°, which is over three degrees off, so you'll notice that when you get in.

The weekend isn't any better. Saturday's got a bit of size, pushing 6ft in the morning, but it's all messy, onshore, and the period is weak, around 9 seconds. There's some energy behind it, but it'll be lumpy and hard to get a clean ride. Sunday and Monday stay in that 4 to 5ft range with cross-onshore chop. Not good.

Then we hit a proper dead patch. Tuesday and Wednesday drop right off, and Wednesday morning finally sees some glass, but the swell's down to 3ft and almost no energy behind it. Thursday and Friday are even smaller, under 3ft and weak. So you're looking at a solid four to five days with almost nothing worth the effort. It's just one of those lulls.

But then, the spark. Saturday the 5th of September, early, is the first real standout. We've got 4ft of WNW groundswell at 11 seconds, and the wind is glassy, light easterly. The energy is moderate, but the quality is there. This is the kind of clean, lined-up morning that makes it all worth it. The swell direction is right for the break, so it'll be picking it up properly. Won't be huge, but it'll be clean and fun.

Sunday the 6th is similar in the morning, another glassy window with around 4ft at 11 seconds. A touch more push behind it, and again, that light east wind sets it up nicely. The afternoon gets chopped up by a north breeze, so get in before lunch.

After that, it settles back into the ordinary. Monday the 7th has a bit of hope in the afternoon with 4ft and glass, but the period drops back a bit. Midweek is poor, cross-onshore and lumpy.

Then another one opens up overnight into Thursday the 10th of September. The morning looks excellent – around 6ft of WNW swell, a 9-second period which is a little short, but the wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the NNE, and the call is for very good conditions. There's serious power behind it. This might be the best session of the whole run, but it's still a week and a half out, so treat it as promising, not guaranteed. The afternoon gets ruined by a stronger NNW wind, so again, morning mission.

Friday the 11th fades out with a small, clean-ish leftover, but honestly, by then it's back to ordinary.

So, the game plan: the first week is mostly trash. The two real standouts are Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September mornings – glassy, clean, with some proper groundswell. And then that Thursday the 10th morning has real potential for the best waves of the fortnight if it holds. Be patient, pick your windows, and get out when it's glassy.

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.
