The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Le Porge. The outlook’s a mixed bag.
Thursday morning is glassy with a light easterly breeze and a tiny 2ft WNW swell. Energy is weak (40). You could get wet, but it’s hardly gonna get the heart rate up.
Friday morning: same glassy setup, 3ft from the WNW, still weak energy (76). Surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then we’ve got a real bright spot: Saturday 5th September morning. That’s the one. 3ft of long-period groundswell from the WNW, 14 seconds between waves, and the energy climbs to a solid moderate (350). Wind is a light north-easterly cross-offshore. Clean, little peelers. Get out there early.
Sunday morning 6th September offers 3ft from the WNW, 11-second period (243 energy), but the wind swings southerly cross-shore – not ideal, but still rideable if you’re keen.
After that, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore for nearly all of the next ten days. There’s a spike on Monday 14th September morning: 5ft from the WNW, very long period 14 seconds, and massive energy (826). But the wind is directly onshore from the WNW. That’s a powerful, straight-out mess – only for experts, and it won’t be pretty. The afternoon holds 5ft+ with onshore wind too.
Tuesday 15th September morning has 4ft (13 sec, 538 energy) with a cross-shore north wind – marginal, but the onshores hit again in the afternoon.
From the 16th, the swell drops back to 2-3ft, mostly with onshore or cross-onshore wind, and energy falls below 200. There are two tiny glassy windows: Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September mornings, but the swell is only 2-3ft and energy is weak (62-103). Just small and ordinary.
So the standout is clear: Saturday 5th September morning. Clean, fun, long-period groundswell. Everything else is either blown out or too small to bother with. Second week looks iffy – that big one on the 14th is there but only for the hardcore, and it’s onshore.
Stay tuned, forecasts can shift.

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.
