The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

The outlook starts off with a solid pulse of long-period groundswell for Sunday the 13th, but the window is tight – mainly a morning session before the wind turns ugly. After that, we’ve got a few clean windows in the mornings, but the afternoons are largely blown out. The standout session is Monday the 21st, which has the best combo of size, wind, and energy. After the 23rd, things drop right off with several days of tiny or poor surf, so make the most of the first week and a half.

Sunday morning, 13th September is the first real chance. At Le Porge, we’ve got clean 4 ft waves from the WNW with a 13-second period, making for proper groundswell. The wind is light and offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, so the surf will be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 367. The water is 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a full 4° above average, which is very unusual. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and with the light offshore wind, it’ll be a fun, uncrowded morning. The afternoon turns to junk with a strong cross-onshore wind, so don't sleep in.

Monday morning, 14th September is another glassy morning. The swell has dropped slightly to 3 ft, still from the WNW, with an 11-second period and moderate energy of 217. Wind is dead calm from the east at 3 mph, so it’s glassy perfection. Again, the morning is the only window before the afternoon wind picks up.

Tuesday morning, 15th September is glassy but small – only 2 ft from the WNW. The energy is weak at 72, so it’s a longboard or funboard morning for the keen ones.

Wednesday, 16th September kicks up a bit to 4 ft, but the wind is cross-shore at 12 mph from the north, creating cross-chop. The energy is moderate at 250, but the conditions are poor. Not one to get excited about.

Thursday morning, 17th September has the biggest swell so far at 5 ft from the WNW, with a strong combined energy of 460, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph, making for poor quality. The afternoon is onshore.

Friday, 18th September is marginal. Morning has 4 ft with cross-shore wind, and the afternoon brings a 3 ft swell with a 15-second period and high energy of 729, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth the paddle.

Saturday morning, 19th September has 5 ft from the WNW, with a 13-second period and high energy of 805. Wind is light cross-onshore from the SW at 6 mph, so it’s borderline. A bit big for beginners at 5 ft, and the onshore element will make it lumpy.

Now, the standout window: Monday morning, 21st September. This is the pick of the forecast. Clean 4 ft from the WNW, 13-second period, strong energy of 587, and a light offshore cross-off wind from the ESE at 6 mph. The conditions are clean and the waves will have good shape. This is the one to mark in your calendar. The afternoon goes to shit as usual with the north-northwest wind.

After Monday the 21st, it gets grim. Tuesday morning, 22nd is marginal with clean 4 ft but the wind is cross-off from the NE at 9 mph, and the energy is moderate at 358. The afternoon is a complete write-off with fresh cross-shore winds. From Wednesday 23rd through to the end of the period, we’re looking at tiny surf (1.0 ft to 3 ft) with weak energy (as low as 26), and mostly poor conditions. There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendations from the 23rd onwards, so don’t hold your breath.

So, to sum it up: Sunday morning the 13th is a solid start, but Monday morning the 21st is the true standout. Get on it early, because the afternoons are a write-off and the second week is flat.

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.
