Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks, yeah?

Look, I’m gonna be straight with you. The next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any proper surfing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy, mostly onshore conditions at Le Porge. It’s not looking like there’s any real swell or clean wind to get excited about until we get much further out.

Right now, Friday the 14th, we’ve got a tiny 2.6ft of west swell, but it’s coming with a cross-on breeze and the energy is weak (129). The water is running at 77.9°, which is a good few degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notable, your wetsuit will feel warmer than usual. But the waves are just not there for a paddle.

This poor form hangs around all through the weekend and into next week. The swell stays small, mostly under 3.3ft, and the wind stays cross-shore or onshore, which chops everything up. There’s one little moment on Saturday the 22nd in the morning – still only 2ft but with a light off-shore breeze, so it might clean up for a second, but it’s hardly worth a special trip.

We finally see a few more swells build a week from Thursday, on the 27th. The swell jumps to 4.9ft from the west with a 8-second period and the energy is now moderate (331). The afternoon looks much better with a clean off-shore wind. That could be your first real window for a decent surf, but it’s a week out, so you know how that goes.

After that, it gets big, but not in a good way. On the 28th and 29th, the swell really kicks in – we’re talking 8.2ft to 9.8ft plus from the west-northwest with strong to very strong energy (2318 and 2792). But it’s accompanied by strong onshore and cross-onshore winds, so it’s going to be a blown-out, lumpy mess. For a spot like Le Porge, this is less about surfing and more about kiting.

Bottom line: it’s a quiet and messy outlook. The only hope is for that 27th window, and even that’s not a certainty this far out. Hold tight.
