The Lowdown

Right, mate. Rusty here. Lookin’ at the Le Porge surf outlook for the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a tough stretch. The surf just isn’t cooperating for a solid paddle session for most of this run. There are a few moments that get a tiny bit interesting, but not many, and they’re buried under a lot of ordinary, choppy, or onshore conditions. You’ll see a long dry gap after the first week.

The only glimmer comes very early on. Monday the 27th, first thing in the morning – you’ll have some 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (286). The reason I mention this is the wind: a light 6 mph cross-shore from the north. That’s the cleanest it’s gonna get all week, with light cross-shore ripples instead of the usual onshore chop. It’s still on the small side and the quality is only “ordinary,” but for an exposed beach break like this, that’s the best on offer.

After Monday morning, the bottom falls out. The swell tapers down to knee-to-waist high mush from Tuesday through to the following Monday (August 4th). Winds are mostly onshore or choppy cross-onshore, making for poor conditions. It’s a proper blank spell. There is a blip on Tuesday the 4th morning when the swell bumps up to 5ft from the west with moderate energy (347), but the wind is onshore from the west at just 3 mph. The wave comment says it’s marginal. It’s not a green light.

Then for the second week it gets worse. Dominated by high winds, onshore, and even some rain. Late on the 7th and into the 8th, we see a big spike in combined energy – into the four digits (1029 on the 7th afternoon, 1253 on the 8th morning). The swell pushes past 8ft with a long 11-second period, but the wind is an absolute blowtorch: 22 mph onshore. The water will be a washing machine. That kind of power with that wind is more of a kite session than a surf. For paddlers, it’s a no-go.

The saving grace is that Le Porge is a fairly consistent spot, so this blank run feels unusual. Forecasts can change, and with a string of WNW swells lined up later, all it needs is a shift in wind. But as it stands today, you’re better off waiting for the next window.

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.
