The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s coming up at Le Porge over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few sessions worth paddling out for.
The week starts off with a promising Tuesday morning on the 1st of September. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 356. The wind is a light 6 mph from the NE, making it a nice cross-off breeze. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and exposed to the swell from the west. The sets will be a bit fat and long, but it’s good, clean fun. Expect good surf conditions.
Tuesday afternoon turns ugly – the wind swings NNW and picks up to 16 mph, kicking up a cross-chop, and the surf drops to 4ft. From there, the rest of the week is pretty grim. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are tiny, under 3ft, with messy wind. Friday morning the 4th is clean but small at 2ft.
Now, Saturday morning on the 5th of September is a real standout. The wind drops to 3 mph from the ENE, leaving it glassy. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is 217 – moderate. The waves will be clean and lined up, perfect for a long session on a longboard. This is the best of the run.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are a write-off – onshore winds and messy short-period swell. The energy drops to 183 and 172, but the wind is on it. Tuesday the 8th has a glassy morning again but only 2ft, so it’s ordinary.
The second week is lean. From Wednesday the 9th through to the end, it’s mostly small, choppy, and onshore. The only glimmers are Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th mornings, with 1ft clean waves and offshore easterly winds – tiny but clean for a micro-session. The water is average temp. The combined energy is weak, around 48 to 66. Monday the 14th is glassy but only 2ft.
The last few days, Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, are a washout with rain showers and fresh onshore winds up to 19 mph, kicking up a lumpy mess. The swell is 5ft on Tuesday morning but with a short 8-second period and cross-on wind, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
Overall, the best on offer is the Saturday morning, the 5th of September, with glassy conditions and a clean 3ft WNW swell. The other clean windows are too small to get excited about. Stay patient.
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.
