The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Le Porge. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch for real quality surfing. The first week and a half are a write-off with poor conditions, and the second week only offers a few fleeting moments of "surfable" waves, not true standouts. There’s a gap of about 10 days with no real surf recommendations before we see a couple of glimmers.

Starting off, Monday, August 3rd, we’ve got tiny 1 ft swell from the west, but the wind is straight onshore. It’s a no-go. This pattern sticks around through the whole first week. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is constantly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, reading just 36 to 149, so there’s no power in the water. You’d be fighting wind bumps for knee-high slop.

The conditions finally take a turn on Tuesday, August 11th. We get a glassy start with a light offshore wind from the ESE, but the swell is only 1 ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The same goes for Wednesday, August 12th and Thursday, August 13th mornings – the wind goes offshore or cross-offshore, with a light breeze, cleaning things right up. The swell stays tiny, though, at 1 ft to 2 ft, with combined energy staying low at 37 to 89. It’s a tease.

Now, the best we’ve got in this whole window is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. The wind is offshore from the ENE, blowing at 9 mph, making it clean. The swell is 2 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, offering a little more shape. The combined energy hits 87, which is still weak but at least it’s something moving. For a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break like Le Porge, it’s the best call. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Then on Monday, August 17th, there’s a risk of thunderstorms, but the morning has a light cross-offshore breeze and a bump in swell to 4 ft from the NW. The combined energy jumps to 166, which is moderate. It’s still a bit ordinary, but with clean conditions, it’s probably the most size you’ll see all fortnight. The period is short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit dumpy and close out, but there’s energy to push you around.

That’s the long and short of it. A long wait for two mornings that are just about surfable, but nothing to write home about. Keep your expectations low.

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.
