Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Le Porge. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the period looks promising.

The first real action kicks off Wednesday morning, 9th September. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate 405 (moderate wave energy) behind it. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, so the surf will be clean. This is the best wave of the opening window. Afternoon sees the wind clocking around to the NNW and picking up, making things choppy and messy, so get your session in early.

Thursday morning, the 10th, has dropped a bit to 3ft from the WNW, still with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is back to a moderate 182. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The afternoons through the rest of the week are a write-off with onshore winds.

We hit a real flat spot over the weekend. Saturday the 12th is tiny, and Sunday the 13th is a bit of a tease. Sunday morning has a small 4ft groundswell from the WNW, but with a period of 13 seconds, giving it a moderate 378 energy. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so it will be perfect for a longboard or a fish. The swell is a bit long in period, so at a beach break like Le Porge, it might wall up a bit, but with those conditions, it’s still a fun little session. That afternoon, the wind turns cross-shore and chops it up.

The next standout is a few days later. Monday morning, 14th September, looks clean again with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a nice 207 (moderate energy) and a light cross-off breeze. A good, cruisy morning.

The following week is generally smaller and wind-affected, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The real gem in this forecast is Sunday morning, 20th September. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a solid 256 (moderate energy) and a light offshore wind from the ENE. It’s a clean, offshore morning that will offer the best shape of the whole run. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Le Porge, so you might have some company, but with clean conditions and a decent swell, it’ll be worth it.

The final week fades out with a tiny, long-period groundswell on the 23rd, but it’s a hollow 0.7ft and not worth the paddle. The period even ticks up to 19 seconds, which is very long, but there’s no height to push it. By Thursday morning, 24th September, we see a small pulse of 3ft from the WNW with a 13-second period and 239 energy, with a clean cross-off breeze. It’s a final little window for a clean, small-wave session before the forecast ends.

For the best waves, hit Wednesday morning 9th September for the biggest, cleanest swell, and Sunday morning 20th September for the cleanest, most fun conditions.

Rusty out.
