The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking in the water for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we’ve got a tough start. The surf is pretty much flat or blown out through the rest of July. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we hit Monday, July 28th, when things start to look a little more promising. Even then, it’s a mixed bag.
The best bet in the whole forecast window is shaping up to be the morning of Tuesday, July 29th, at Le Porge. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with the wind swinging offshore from the east at just 3 mph. The swell will be a small 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a decent little groundswell, which means better shaped, longer lines rolling through. The combined energy is moderate at 175, so there’s some push behind it. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s a sweet, clean morning session. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
If you miss that window, the morning of Monday, August 10th actually shows a bit more size – 5ft from the NW with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 314 – but the wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy. Still, at least there’s some push.
Honestly, though, between Tuesday morning and that Monday in August, there’s a long stretch of poor surf – lots of onshores and tiny waves. August 1st morning gets glassy again but with only 2ft, so it’s barely a ride. The gem is definitely that Tuesday, July 29th morning.
Stay patient, and don’t bother with the afternoons unless you like choppy mess.
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.
Le Porge is 27 km (17 miles) from Arcachon. If you plan a holiday in Gironde, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arcachon. Arcachon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
