The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through to Tuesday, August 11th, the surf is consistently poor. We’re looking at tiny waves with weak, mostly cross-onshore winds. The combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits on a couple of afternoons, and even then, it’s only around 106 (moderate), and the waves are choppy and messy. There’s a long gap with no real reason to paddle out. It’s the kind of flat spell that tests your patience.
Now, the end of the run finally shows a glimmer of hope. Keep your eyes on Le Porge (France) for the final two days of the forecast. The standout is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. The conditions flip completely. The wind is set to go glassy, and the swell picks up to 3.9 ft from the west with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 230 (moderate), and the forecast is for good surf. This is the one to aim for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a promising session, but be aware this is a long-range call, so don’t book the day off work just yet.
The morning before, Wednesday, August 12th, also looks glassy with a 2.6 ft swell from the WNW, offering surfable but very ordinary conditions. It’s a warm-up for the real deal on Thursday.
So, to sum it up: a lot of flat, windy nothing, then a potential beauty on the morning of the 13th. That’s your window.

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.
