Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for our local stretch.

The forecast kicks off this Saturday the 5th with a bit of hope, but we’re in for a real mixed bag. The first few days have some clean windows, but the chart gets messy quickly. The standout window is actually further out, on Sunday the 13th, when things look to line up really nicely.

We’ll start with Le Porge on Saturday morning, the 5th. The water is 74°, which is a good 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – a real treat. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a light cross-offshore breeze (6 mph) from the NNE. The energy is weak (269), but it’s a morning session for the beginners, with small, clean waves.

Saturday afternoon gets a bit blown out as the wind picks up to 12 mph from the north, making it a cross-shore mess. Not worth it.

Sunday the 6th morning is another chance. We’ve got 4ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The energy is moderate (319) and the conditions are clean. It’s a good, gentle option for a Sunday morning paddle.

After that, we hit a rough patch. From Sunday afternoon right through until Saturday the 12th, the wind is mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong. The swell sticks around, but the quality is poor. Expect choppy, lumpy, or blown-out conditions. Not a lot to get excited about.

Now, the real standout is Sunday the 13th morning. The wind goes absolutely glassy – zero mph from the SSE. The swell is 3ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the energy is moderate (226). This is clean, glassy surf. The waves will be small but perfect. This is the session to circle on your calendar. It’s a rare moment of perfection in a stretch of iffy conditions.

After that, the rest of the second week into the 20th is a struggle. The swell drops off to under 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 18th – we get a 2ft WNW swell with a clean offshore breeze from the ESE (9 mph), and the energy is weak (108). It’s surfable, but it’s a small, ordinary wave. The afternoon of the 19th also goes glassy, but again, the waves are small.

Overall, the first half of the 16-day window has a couple of clean mornings, but the real gem is Sunday the 13th. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next proper swell. Don’t hold your breath for the final week; it’s looking pretty flat and sloppy.

Rusty.
