The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf around Le Porge.
To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. The sea is really going to go to sleep for a while. There’s a bit of a tease on the 27th, with a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a mess—cross and cross-onshore—so it’s going to be all chop and no shape. Forget about it.
The real hope, and the only true standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. The swell drops to a clean 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and here’s the kicker: the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with an offshore breeze from the ESE. This is a gift. The water temperature is a much warmer than normal 75°, which is a treat. The wave energy is moderate (175). It’s going to be clean, small, and fun—perfect for a beginner session. The crowds are possible sometimes, but with conditions this good, you’ll want to be out early.
After that, it’s a long, slow grind. From the 29th of July all the way through to the 10th of August, the surf is poor. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s just not worth paddling out. There’s a glimmer on the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August, with a 4ft swell from the NW and a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the wave comment is just “surfable but ordinary.” The energy is moderate (142), but it’s not the stand-out.
The next real chance pops up on the morning of Tuesday, the 11th of August. The swell is a waist-high 3ft from the NW, but the wind swings to a clean cross-offshore from the NE, making it look clean. The energy is weak (91), but for a quiet summer morning, it might just be a nice little session. Don’t get your hopes up for anything big.
The bottom line? The 28th of July morning is your best bet. After that, it’s a whole lot of waiting for the wind to play nice, and the swell just isn't there. A typical lull for this area.
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.
