The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty slow start for Le Porge. The first few days are mostly junk, so don’t bother paddling out until we get past the mid-week slog.
Things finally start to look interesting on Saturday the 5th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a solid 12-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the North, which means the lineup should be pretty tidy. The combined energy is humming along nicely at 288 (moderate), giving those waves a bit of push. It’s not huge, so it’s good for most levels, but the main thing is the quality is finally there.
Then Sunday the 6th keeps the run going. Another morning with light offshores from the ESE and a similar 3ft WNW swell at 12 seconds. Combined energy at 275, again in that moderate, fun range. The water is sitting at 74° right now, which is a massive 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat, so you won’t need a thick suit.
There are a couple more windows worth a look. Thursday the 10th morning shows a 4ft WNW swell with clean conditions and cross-off winds from the NNE. Combined energy bumps up to 286. It’s a touch bigger, still good. Also, Sunday the 13th morning has a similar setup: 5ft WNW swell and clean cross-off winds again, with energy at 248.
The absolute standout though, is that Saturday the 5th morning. You’ve got the glassy start to the weekend, the swell is consistent, the period is nice and long for a beach break like Le Porge, and the wind is perfect. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
For the second week, things get a bit hit-and-miss. The 14th and 15th have some clean morning windows with moderate energy, but the winds get a bit stronger through the afternoons, so stick to the early sessions. By the 16th, it drops right off again.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off. Hang tight, wait for Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th in the mornings. That’s your best bet for clean, fun waves.
Stay wet,
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.
