The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Le Porge.
Honestly, I’m calling it as it is: this is a pretty tough stretch. The surf is small and the conditions are ordinary for the vast majority of the window. You’ve got a long gap of poor surf right through the first week and into the second. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Friday, August 7th, and after that, we’re mostly back to tiny, messy waves.
The standout in this whole period is Friday morning, August 7th. It’s not going to be the biggest day you’ve ever seen, but it’s the only time the stars line up. Swell is a modest 3ft from the NW, and the magic is that wind – it’s glassy. Dead calm. That’s a major positive, you’ll get clean little lines. The combined wave energy is weak, only 81, so it’s small stuff, but for a savvy surfer on a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be the most fun you’ll have all forecast. Le Porge is a beginner-friendly beach break, so this is a good session to get wet.
After that, it’s mostly back to tiny, weak, and onshore trash. The wind swings around to the NW and WNW, blowing cross-on or on, and the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft with poor energy. There’s a second small window of clean surf on Saturday morning, August 15th, with a glassy 3ft swell from the NNW, but it’s not much different from the 7th – just a little less juice (40 energy). The crowd factor at Le Porge is ‘sometimes’, so you might have a few mates out, but nothing to worry about.
Water temp is a warm 76°F, which is a huge 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. This is very unusual – you’re essentially getting a freaky warm bath.
The long-range stuff into the second week is a bust. From the 17th on, we’re practically flat – 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves with almost no energy. Not worth paddling out for.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, pencil in Friday morning, August 7th, and maybe Saturday morning, August 15th. The rest of this 16-day run is a write-off.
Stay salty,
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.
