The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I’ll be honest, the immediate outlook at Le Porge is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions. The first few days are a write-off, with a bunch of poor surf and choppy onshore winds. The morning of Friday the 7th is the first real chance to get wet, with a tiny 2ft swell from the NW and glassy conditions. It’s not much, but it’s clean. The combined energy is weak at 51, so you’ll be working for every little bump.

The next real standout comes on the morning of Friday the 14th, but here’s the kicker: the wind is light and cross-shore from the S, but the swell is only 2ft from the W with a 9-second period. The energy is still weak (67), so it’s not going to be a day to remember. Honestly, the best part of the whole forecast looks like it might be the morning of the 17th, but that’s quite a wait. The swell jumps to 5ft from the W with a 6-second period, which is short period and a bit messy, but the morning is glassy with a light wind from the W. The energy is moderate at 169. It’s not great, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen.

Later that day, the 17th afternoon, the swell builds to 6ft from the W, but the wind swings NNW at 12 mph, turning it choppy and cross-on. The next morning, the 18th, is probably the best bet in the whole 16-day window. The swell holds at 6ft from the W with a 10-second period and the combined energy is strong at 614. The wind is light onshore from the W, but the period is decent, and the size is there. It’s a little too big for beginners, but it’s the most juice we’ve seen. The morning of the 19th is also worth a look, with a 5ft WNW swell, but the wind is cross-shore from the N at 9 mph, keeping it a little choppy.

The rest of the second week fades back into small, weak swell with poor wind. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to complain about there.

The takeaway: Hang tight. The first week is a total bust. The real hope is the morning of Monday the 18th, and maybe the morning of the 19th. That’s over a week and a half away, so treat it as a promising long-range call, not a sure thing. The morning of the 17th is a smaller option if you’re desperate.

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.
