The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks, the surf at Le Porge is looking pretty average to downright disappointing. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, with the wind messing things up most days. The only real glimmer of hope is a late bloomer right at the end of the forecast window.

The pattern starts off with tiny, weak swell. Sunday the 9th has a 2ft NW swell, but with a strong cross-onshore wind at 15 mph, it’s just choppy and no good. The water temp is a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a weird one. There’s a brief window Monday morning, the 10th, with glassy conditions and an ESE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is still only 2ft and the combined energy is weak (60). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets in the first week.

The whole first week is a grind. Every day brings small swell, mostly between 1.0ft and 3ft, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore, ruining any chance of clean waves. The period is short too, usually 8 to 10 seconds, so there’s no real power. The combined energy stays low, mostly under 100, which is just weak. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th see the swell bump up to 3ft and 3ft, with energy hitting 131 and 139, but both days are hammered by cross-onshore winds. It’s a write-off.

The second week is more of the same. Monday the 17th morning has a glassy moment with a 3ft swell, but it’s short period (7 seconds) and the energy is low (61). Still just ordinary. The surf actually drops off a cliff from Tuesday the 18th through to the end of the week, with swell barely reaching 2ft and periods dropping to 4-6 seconds. The combined energy plummets to single or low double digits – that’s barely a ripple. The break is an exposed beach, so without any real swell, it’s flat.

Then, finally, a standout. Monday the 24th morning. There’s a 4ft WNW groundswell rolling in with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 211 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the WSW at 3 mph, so the conditions will be clean. This is far and away the best on offer. The swell direction (WNW) is a decent match for the optimum W direction. The water is glassy, the waves will be rideable, and it’s a beginner-friendly break, but at 4ft it’s still fine for most. Just know that crowds are possible here. The afternoon goes cross-onshore again, so make the most of that morning.

To sum it up: there’s a long, dry gap from now until the 24th, with only a few brief, ordinary moments. The 24th is the one to mark in your calendar. It’s a promising call, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it.

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.
