The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Le Porge. We've got a bit of a mixed bag comin' our way over the next couple of weeks. The water's a real treat right now, sitting at a very unusual 74°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you'll be shedding the wetsuit top for sure.
The week kicks off on Wednesday morning, and that's where we see the best bet in the entire forecast. There's a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds and a moderate wave energy (415). The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, which is gonna keep the surface nice and clean. Expect good surf conditions. This is the standout session, no doubt about it. The swell drops off to 5ft by the afternoon, but the wind swings cross-on and it gets messy, so make the most of the morning.
Thursday morning the 10th of September goes glassy with a tiny 3ft swell, but it's surfable. The energy drops to 199. The arvo is no good.
Friday the 11th morning is dead flat and glassy with only 2ft and 68 energy, not worth paddling out for. The same goes for Saturday morning the 12th, with 2ft and 72 energy.
Sunday morning the 13th brings a pulse of longer-period groundswell – 4ft from the WNW with a 13-second period and solid energy (378). But the wind is cross-shore, and the report says it's marginal. The long period might make it a bit tricky at a beach break, but there could be some fun ones if you're patient.
Monday morning the 14th is back to clean with a light cross-off and 3ft waves, making for a pleasant, if not epic, session.
The middle of the week gets pretty small, with waist-high or smaller surf and clean conditions, but nothing to get excited about. The 16th, 17th, and 18th are mostly a write-off with onshore winds.
Now, hold onto your hats. The next real standout pops up on Saturday morning, the 19th of September. The wind is light and cross-off from the SE, the sky is clean, and we've got a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period and a very healthy energy reading of 363. The conditions are clean and promising. It's a bit further out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a good one.
The final highlight is Thursday morning, the 24th of September. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the WNW, with an 11-second period and a huge energy reading of 694. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NE. However, the report flags it as marginal, which could be a tide or shape issue. If you're an experienced surfer, this one could be a blast, but it might be a bit much for the beginners. The afternoon stays big at 5ft but with a cross-shore wind.
Overall, Wednesday morning is your absolute best bet, with Saturday the 19th being a promising long-range option. There's a lot of small, clean days in between, but the real quality is in those two windows.

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.
