The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the next couple of weeks for us. Pretty grim start, I gotta be honest. The swell is tiny and the wind's all over the place for the first few days. There's a long dry spell before we get anything worthwhile.
We've got nothing to shout about from now through the end of August. Thursday the 28th and Friday the 29th bring some size, but it's onshore junk – strong cross-onshore winds smashing up a messy 7 ft to 10 ft windswell with short, weak period. That’s a kite surfer's playground, not for a paddle surfer. That combined energy hits 342 and then jumps to a massive 1476, but it's all noise.
We finally get a window on Sunday the 30th. It's a quick one, though. The morning will be glassy with a rare south wind at just 5 km/h. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy is moderate at 329. It's not a monster, but for a beach break like Le Porge, that glassy morning makes it the best we've seen. It'll be perfect for beginners and a fun little session for everyone. By the afternoon, the WNW wind swings onshore and chops it right up.
Then we hit another quiet patch. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September have some size, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and ordinary.
The real standout, and the one you need to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Wednesday the 10th of September. That's over a week away, so it's a long-range promise, but it looks special. The forecast shows a clean 6 ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period and moderate energy at 562. The wind is going to be completely glassy – dead calm from the north. That means Le Porge will be pristine. The swell is a touch over the beginner-friendly mark, so it's more for the intermediate and up crowd, but with those conditions, it'll be a classic autumn morning.
This is Rusty, signing off. The wait is on for that glassy mid-September day.

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.
