Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright gang, Rusty here. Let's get real about the surf coming up. This is one of those stretches where you might wanna wax the car instead of the board for a while.

For the next week and a half, it's a pretty grim scene. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way into early August, the swell is nothing to write home about – struggling past 3ft at best, and mostly way smaller than that. Wave energy is gutless (mostly under 100). Wind is a constant issue, blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the NW and W, making everything a choppy mess. You're looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing worth getting wet for.

Things finally try to wake up around Friday the 7th of August in the morning. The swell builds to about 5ft from the west, with moderate energy (283). But the cross-onshore wind is still spoiling it, making it a pretty marginal call at best.

Now, here's the one sliver of hope. Circle the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. We get a clean, offshore breeze out of the ESE at Le Porge. This spot is an exposed, fairly consistent beach break that's a great option for beginners. We're looking at a 3ft swell from the west with a short period of 8 seconds, but combined energy is solidly moderate (204) and the wind will have the waves looking clean. Water temp sits around 72°, pretty average for this time of year. Just a heads-up, crowds can sometimes be a factor, and with that short period on a beach break, don't expect perfection, but it's the best chance for a fun paddle.

That afternoon, the wind spins back onshore and knocks the quality out again, and the days after that drop right back into tiny, weak, and messy surf (energy under 100) for the rest of the 16-day run.

Bottom line: we're staring at a whole lot of nothing with a very brief window of *something* on the 8th. It's a long shot, but it never stays flat forever.

Rusty.
