Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks in this neck of the woods. Gotta be straight with you—it’s a lean stretch. The surf window starts on July 14th, and honestly, the first week and a half is pretty grim.

For days on end, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The swell energy is barely a whisper, often measuring single to low double digits. You’ll see some waves but they’ll be gutless, mostly in the 0.7ft to 3ft range, and the winds are anything but kind. There's a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind that’ll chop up whatever’s there. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th offer a tiny glimmer of waist-high power, but it’s still messy and onshore. It won’t be worth paddling out for unless you're just desperate to get wet. The water temp is a sizzling 77°—about 9° warmer than usual for the time of year—so if you get in for a swim, it’ll feel like a bathtub.

Finally, around Thursday the 23rd, things get interesting. Thursday morning sees a pulse of real swell hitting Le Porge. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the west with light offshore wind from the NE. The wave energy will be moderate, measuring 217. It’s a proper surf window, with clean, rideable waves—still small enough for beginners to have a crack but with enough push for a fun session. That morning is your standout. Later in the day it gets onshore and choppy, so make the most of the morning.

The following week stays pretty average, but we get another decent window on Sunday the 27th morning. That’ll bring a solid, moderate to strong energy pulse of 505, with a 4ft swell from the WNW. The period is 11 seconds, which gives it some good push and shape. The wind is cross-onshore from the NNW, so it won't be glassy, but it’s still rideable and the size is there. That swell holds into the 28th, with a 4ft to 4ft swell from the WNW. The wind is light, but it's cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect. Still, it's the best option of that later period.

In short, you’ve got a long flat spell with one solid morning on July 23rd as the clear winner, and a couple of average but surfable days at the end of the month. The second week is less certain, but there’s promise.

Rusty.
