The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the coast. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, the first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a run of poor surf through Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell is there, but the wind is just ruining it. Thursday the 10th morning shows a glimmer of hope with glassy conditions at Le Porge, but the swell is only 3ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (182). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. Then Friday and Saturday are a flat spell – tiny waves, just not worth paddling out for.
The real standout window opens up on Sunday the 13th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Sunday morning at Le Porge is looking like the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW, and the period bumps up to 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, long lines, loads of energy. The combined energy is moderate (476), and the wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm. The water is running at 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable. This is clean, lined-up surf. The break is exposed to the west, and the swell is coming from the optimum direction, so expect some nice, peeling waves. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but keep in mind it can get crowded sometimes.
Monday the 14th morning is also a good option, with clean, cross-off wind and a 4ft swell from the WNW (10 sec period, 269 combined energy). It’s a step down from Sunday, but still a solid, clean session.
After that, things drop off again. The second week is mostly small and weak, with a few marginal days. The next thing that catches my eye is Wednesday the 23rd morning. That’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in, but it’s promising. Early morning shows a 3ft swell from the W with a very long 14-second period, clean offshore wind from the east, and combined energy of 303. It’s small, but that period and wind could make for some surprisingly fun, glassy waves.
Overall, the best surf on offer is undeniably Sunday the 13th morning. Get on it.
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.
