Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. We’re looking at a run of pretty ordinary conditions, and for the first week, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The first sniff of anything remotely decent doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s a solid gap of nearly a week of flat or choppy, blown-out junk.

The water is unusually warm for this time of year, about 78°, which is over 9° warmer than normal. That’s a real oddity, but with the lack of swell, it’s more of a talking point than a draw.

The one window that stands out is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July at Le Porge. We’ve got a clean, clean looking morning with a light breeze from the NNE, keeping it glassy. The swell is a small 4 ft from the NW at 10 seconds, which is a decent period – that’s a proper groundswell, so it’ll have a bit of shape and energy. The combined energy is moderate at 269 – not a massive day, but for a spot that’s been flat, this is the best we’ve got. This is a beginner-friendly break, and with the cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but nothing chaotic.

The next day, Wednesday the 29th of July morning, also has a clean look with a light ENE breeze, but the swell drops to a tiny 2 ft. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the window into early August is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, with weak, short-period swell that barely gets above 3 ft. The combined energy stays low, mostly under 100, and it’s not worth getting excited about.

So, the takeaway? If you’re desperate, hit Le Porge on the morning of the 28th. Outside of that, it’s a long, quiet spell. The forecasts could change, but for now, the board stays in the car.

Rusty.
