The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. For the next 16 days at Le Porge, the surf is looking pretty bleak. There’s a long stretch of flat, poor conditions, and only a few brief moments where you might want to get wet. The first real chance doesn’t come until the morning of the 22nd.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

The one window that’s worth a look is the morning of Saturday the 22nd. The wind is blowing straight offshore from the east, cleaning things up nicely. You’ll have a 3ft swell from the WNW, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 151. It’s surfable, but it’s nothing special. The break is fairly consistent, but expect company. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is your best bet.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. The swell drops to 1ft, then 1ft, with periods of 7 seconds and less. The energy is nothing, well under 100. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, but there’s simply no wave to ride. This flat period runs from the 23rd through the 25th, and honestly, it doesn’t get much better until the 5th of September.

There’s a pulse on the 28th of August, with a 8ft swell from the west and massive energy (1373–1401), but it’s a total mess. The wind is strong onshore from the WSW, ruining any chance of a clean wave. That’s only for experts, and even then, it’s a battle.

The last flicker is on the morning of the 5th of September. Clean offshore easterly wind, a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and energy at 190. It’s very ordinary, but the conditions will be clean. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

It’s a rough run. The area goes flat like this pretty often, so don’t panic. The 22nd morning is the only real shot, and it’s a small one.

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.
