G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next few weeks for the Le Porge region. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for most of the forecast, with very little to get excited about for a surfer.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 11th of July. Up until then, it’s flat and messy with onshore winds. Even then, the swell is tiny at 2 feet from the NW, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE, keeping things clean. The wave energy is moderate (105), but the waves are just small and weak. It’s nothing to write home about.
The next window is Sunday morning, the 12th of July, with a similar vibe: 2 feet from the WNW and a light cross-offshore from the ESE. Again, clean but tiny, with weak energy (50). It’s ordinary at best.
After that, the forecast goes totally flat and poor for over a week straight. Lots of cross-onshore wind and near-zero swell. The energy readings drop into the teens and twenties. It’s a real barren stretch.
The only standout, and it’s a long way off, comes on the morning of Tuesday, the 21st of July. A solid pulse of 6 feet swell from the west rolls in, with moderate energy (243). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the north, keeping it relatively clean. For a beginner-friendly break like Le Porge, this swell is a bit more than ideal for learning, but it’s surfable. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and wind-affected, but it’s the best wave of the whole outlook.
The following morning, Wednesday the 22nd of July, also has a good 7 feet swell from the west with a light onshore wind, but it’s a touch bigger and more powerful. The energy is very strong (594) and the period is still short at 9 seconds. This is expert territory due to the size. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep an eye out.
Water temp at the start of the period is 72°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a surprise.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the first week-and-a-half. The best bet is the morning of the 21st of July, with the 22nd of July for the more experienced crew. It’s a waiting game.
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.
