The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, I’ll break it down in feet and miles per hour.
The next couple of weeks start slow. Real slow. There’s a big gap of nothing before the surf starts to show up.
From Saturday the 15th through Thursday the 20th, it’s flat and messy. Swell heights stay under 3 feet, periods are short, and the wind is mostly onshore. The wave energy is weak. Don’t bother paddling out.
The first real window comes Friday the 21st morning at Le Porge. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell, with a 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNE. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is moderate (328). The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is your best bet. Get on it early because the afternoon gets chopped up.
Then we’re back to small, poor stuff from the 22nd to the 25th. Nothing to get excited about.
Wednesday the 26th morning shows a pulse of 4ft WNW swell, 12-second period, with moderate energy (597). It’s marginal with light cross-onshore wind, but it’s a sign of better things.
The real gem is Thursday the 27th morning. Le Porge gets a glassy 5ft W swell, 9-second period, with light offshore wind from the SE. The energy is moderate (388) and the conditions are glassy. This is the second standout window.
After that, it’s small again until Sunday the 30th morning, when a clean 5ft W swell, 10-second period, rolls in with light cross-offshore wind from the N. The energy is moderate (408) and the conditions are clean. A solid finish.
So, to wrap it up: Friday the 21st morning and Thursday the 27th morning are your two best calls. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
