The Lowdown

Alright my friends, it's Rusty here. I've been going over the local charts for our stretch, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: we are in for a long, dry spell for most of this forecast. There's a whole heap of junky, windblown slop on the menu before we finally see anything with a pulse. Patience, that's the name of the game.

We're starting off today, Friday the 28th, with a risk of thunderstorms and a fresh onshore breeze at 19 mph. That's kicking up a 7ft mess of short-period W swell, and it’s just blown out. The wave energy is only moderate, at 462 units, so it's all chop and no power. Saturday the 29th is more of the same deal, with a moderate onshore breeze and wave heights around 5ft to 6ft. It's all just poor conditions. Sunday the 30th is still cross-onshore and lumpy, and this pattern of choppy, poor waves holds right through to Wednesday the 2nd of September. It's a solid stretch of nothing worth getting out of bed for.

We finally see a bit of relief on Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September. The wind goes light and clean, with some cross-offshore and glassy mornings, but the swell has completely flat-lined to a crappy 2ft to 2ft. You could almost paddle a log, but there's no push. It's just not surf.

Then, from out of the gloom, comes the highlight. The one to circle on the calendar: Saturday the 5th of September. The swell jumps to a solid 4ft from the WNW, the period expands to a healthy 12 seconds, and that wave energy is up to 559 units—that's strong, quality juice. But the real key is the morning wind: a light offshore from the NE at 6 mph. This is the day. Le Porge (Le Porge) is going to have clean, lined-up, proper surf. With that long period, there will be lulls between sets, making the paddle out a bit easier, and the offshore wind will have the faces looking like glass. It's a Saturday and this break is fairly consistent, so it will be busy, but this is the stand-out session of the whole outlook. Sunday the 6th is still a good option, with a 3ft WNW swell and a morning offshore from the ESE, just a touch smaller than Saturday, but still plenty of fun before the sea breeze kicks up.

After that, the plug gets pulled. Early next week, the swell drops back to 2ft or less, and the wind turns onshore again. There are a couple of glassy mornings around the 9th, but with pretty much zero waves. There's a little bump in the swell around the 11th, but it's accompanied by a fresh, strong onshore breeze, making it messy. Not worth the drive.

One thing to keep in mind: the water temperature is running real warm at 25°C, which is more than 3 degrees above what's normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you'll be comfortable in a spring suit, maybe even just boardies if you've been here a while. The first surf break we're talking about, Le Porge, is in that water.

So, in short: a whole lot of nothing, with one diamond in the rough on September 5th. That's your session. The long-range stuff is always a little less certain, but it's got a good look to it right now. For everything else, you might want to check if the kites are blown up, because the surf just isn't there.

Rusty signing off.

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.
