The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the low-down for the next couple weeks at Le Porge.
I’m not gonna sugar-coat it—this is a lean period. The first week or more is basically a bust for any decent surf. Most days the swell is knee-high or smaller, and when there’s a little bump, the wind’s usually side or side-on, making a mess of things. If you’re a total beginner, Monday the 10th had a glassy morning with 0.5m swell, but the energy was weak (60) and there’s a thunderstorm risk. After that? Nothing. From the 11th all the way through the 19th, it’s tiny, choppy, and uninspiring—just a couple of glassy mornings on the 17th and 19th with hardly any size or push.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is Friday morning, the 21st of August. That’s our standout. We’ve got a pulse of 1.1m swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 354—that’s a proper bit of juice. Plus, the wind is glassy from the WSW, so the surface will be clean. This is as good as it gets. The swell is coming from a good direction for the beach, and it’s the only time in the whole forecast where everything lines up.
Before that, prepare for a long wait. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a whole lot of flat and ugly. The 21st morning is the one to aim for.

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.
