Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day window for Le Porge is a real mixed bag. We’ve got some decent windows of fun, clean surf, but there’s also plenty of ordinary, blown-out junk to sift through. The overall pattern is a series of small, short-lived pulses of WNW swell, with most of the quality coming from those early morning glass-offs. If you’re a beginner, this is your kind of spot, but don’t expect any big walls of water.

The best bet on offer is hands down the Sunday 6th September morning. The swell is a clean 4ft from the WNW with a solid 11-second period, and the wind is glassy and light from the SSE at 3 mph. Combined wave energy is moderate (319), and conditions are forecast to be "glassy" and "good." It’s a beginner-friendly break, but it’s also exposed to the swell, so the long period will push through nicely. This is the standout session. Crowds are only "sometimes" a problem, so you’ll likely get a few waves to yourself.

The next real highlight is Thursday 10th September morning. Another glassy morning with 3 mph winds from the east, 3ft of WNW swell, and a 10-second period. The combined energy (212) is moderate, and the forecast says "good surf conditions." It’s a smaller session than the Sunday, but it’ll be just as clean and fun for a beginner.

After that, things get scrappy. The mornings of Friday 11th, Sunday 13th, Monday 14th, and Tuesday 15th September all offer "surfable but very ordinary" conditions with small waves (2ft to 3ft) and mostly clean offshore winds, but the swell is weak and inconsistent. You’ll get a wave, but it won’t be memorable.

The week of the 16th shows a little more promise. Wednesday 16th September morning has 3ft from the WNW with a 11-second period, light offshore winds, and a moderate energy reading (179). It’s clean but small. The standout in this second week is Thursday 17th September morning. The swell is 3ft, period 11 seconds, wind is light cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and the combined energy is 212. The forecast reads "good surf conditions" and it’s clean. This is your second-week pick.

Beyond that, from Friday 18th through Monday 21st, it’s more of the same: small, clean mornings but nothing to write home about. The afternoon winds consistently turn cross-onshore and ruin the surface.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises. The waves are small enough for beginners, but if you’re an experienced surfer, you’ll want to cherry-pick those glassy mornings.

Rusty.
