The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's coming up for Le Porge over the next couple of weeks. First thing you’ll notice is a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, so don't bother paddling out just yet. The first real window of opportunity doesn't show up until Monday the 14th of September, and even then, it's a very specific window.
Alright, so on Monday the 14th of September, we’ve got a brief moment where it all comes together in the morning. The water is sitting at a very unusual 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper treat. We’re looking at a clean, 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, offering moderate wave energy (214). The wind is glassy, offshore from the ENE, so you’ll be getting some clean little lines. The swell exposure is good from the west, which matches up nicely. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s about as good as it gets. It’s a standout for the whole period, but you have to get out early because the afternoon turns into a choppy, cross-on mess.
After that Monday morning window, the surf goes pretty poor for a good stretch. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are both write-offs with onshore winds and very small, weak surf. Things don’t really look promising again until Friday morning the 18th. That morning session sees a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with a cross-offshore breeze, and moderate energy (282). It’s not epic, but it's a nice, clean option for a quick paddle.
Looking further ahead, the real showstopper for this outlook is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September. The wind goes glassy from the SW, the swell bumps up to a clean 5ft from the WNW with a long 13-second period, and the energy is strong (781). That combination of glass and a solid, long-period groundswell is a recipe for some proper fun waves at a point break, but on a beach like Le Porge, it might break a little straight. Still, it's the cleanest and most powerful swell of the entire forecast. Make a plan for it.
The following week is a mixed bag. Monday morning the 21st of September has another solid option with a 5ft, 14-second groundswell and clean, cross-offshore winds from the ENE. The energy is very strong (904), so expect some zippers. After that, things drop off again and get messy with strong cross-shore winds.
It’s a short-lived burst of quality, but that Saturday the 19th morning is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s the clear winner, with the Monday the 14th morning being a close second for a sneaky early session.

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.

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.
