The Lowdown
Right, let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming over the next couple of weeks for Le Porge. The first few days are a write-off, I’m telling you now, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The water is 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above average, so it’s a weird one.
We kick off proper on Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning, the wind swings around to a light offshore from the NNE and we’ve got 5ft swell out of the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The waves will be clean, and the combined energy is moderate (360). It’s a beginner-friendly break anyway, and that’s not too big for less experienced surfers.
Thursday the 10th is actually a standout. Morning sees glassy conditions with the wind dropping out completely and a 3ft WNW groundswell (10 second period) peeling in clean. Combined energy is moderate (203). It’s not huge, but the conditions will be perfect for logging or a longboard, and the crowd is only "sometimes" an issue, so you could have some great solo waves.
Friday the 11th is flat-ish and messy, not worth it. Saturday the 12th is tiny.
Then Sunday the 13th morning brings another good window: glassy again, with a 3ft long-period WNW groundswell (13 seconds). That long period means better shape but the sets will be a bit more spread out. Energy is moderate (306). This will be a lovely morning for the point.
Monday the 14th morning is also glassy with a 3ft WNW swell, 12 seconds, and clean conditions. Moderate energy (294).
There’s a gap of poor surf from Monday afternoon through to the end of the week, with onshore winds and size building. Thursday the 17th sees 7ft to 7ft swell but it’s onshore and messy – only for experts and even then, not recommended.
The real standout comes at the end of the run. On Sunday the 20th of September, the morning delivers a 4ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, combined energy hitting a strong 574, and clean conditions with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. That’s the best quality of the whole window – proper clean lines and enough push to get a good ride.
Monday the 21st morning holds a 6ft swell but with a light cross-onshore breeze, making it marginal.
Overall, the best bet is Thursday morning the 10th and that Sunday the 20th morning. The near-term one is reliable; the later one is promising.

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.
