The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. The first real chance of a paddle comes on Wednesday, 26th August, but honestly, it’s barely a whisper. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell pushing in from the west, and while the wind is light and offshore out of the east, keeping things clean, the energy is super weak (55). It’s a beginner-friendly morning, but only just. The water here is sitting at a very unusual 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the Atlantic.

We then hit a bit of a lull. Thursday the 27th is the first morning that actually gets interesting. The swell jumps up to a more solid 5ft out of the west, with a clean offshore breeze from the east-southeast. The energy jumps to a moderate 318, so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is your best bet of the whole outlook, but you’ll want to be out early – by the afternoon, a strong cross-onshore wind from the northwest wrecks it completely.

After that, it’s a proper write-off. Friday the 28th sees a huge, messy 12ft westerly swell, but with howling onshore winds (28-25 mph) and energy readings up in the thousands (2180-2969), it’s just a washing machine. That’s strictly for the experts, and even then, it’s a paddling nightmare. Saturday the 29th is much the same – a big 7ft swell but still hammered by onshore winds. At that size with that wind, the beach setup here looks more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.

We get a small window again on Monday the 31st. The morning brings a clean 5ft west-northwest swell, with glassy conditions and an easterly breeze – dead calm. The energy is solid at 363. It’s the pick of the second week, but it’s short-lived as the wind swings onshore again by lunch.

The rest of the run into the first week of September is pretty uninspiring. There are a few tiny, weak swells with poor winds, and by the 6th and 7th, we’re back to big, windy, onshore conditions that are basically unsurfable.

So, to wrap it up: if you’re keen, the standouts are Thursday 27th and Monday 31st mornings. Everything else is a struggle. It’s a long, blank run, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts change.

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.
