Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you, Le Porge. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with very little to get excited about, so let’s get into it.

The pattern is dominated by weak, short-period WNW windswell that barely gets its feet under it before the afternoon sea breeze absolutely wrecks the place. Most days the wind cranks from the NNW at 15 mph, turning the lineup into a choppy mess. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 78°F, far warmer than normal for this time of year.

We do have one standout window, and it’s first up. On the morning of Saturday, the 4th of July, the wind goes glassy out of the NE, and that’s massive for this exposed beach break. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 245. It won’t be big, but with clean glassy conditions, Le Porge will offer some fun, rippable lines. Best for beginners given the size.

After that, it’s a long, bleak run. Sunday the 5th morning has a tiny 2 ft cross-offshore, and Monday the 6th morning has a 2 ft offshore, but both are tiny and weak. The rest of the 16-day forecast is filled with either no swell, or onshore winds, or both. There’s a bump in energy on the 11th of July (Saturday) with combined energy of 138 from a 3 ft swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be all chop and closeouts.

Honestly, if you’re a paddler, your best bet is Saturday morning.

--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.
