The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Le Porge. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the period looks promising.

The first real action kicks off Wednesday morning, 9th September. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate 405 (moderate wave energy) behind it. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, so the surf will be clean. This is the best wave of the opening window. Afternoon sees the wind clocking around to the NNW and picking up, making things choppy and messy, so get your session in early.

Thursday morning, the 10th, has dropped a bit to 3ft from the WNW, still with a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is back to a moderate 182. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The afternoons through the rest of the week are a write-off with onshore winds.

We hit a real flat spot over the weekend. Saturday the 12th is tiny, and Sunday the 13th is a bit of a tease. Sunday morning has a small 4ft groundswell from the WNW, but with a period of 13 seconds, giving it a moderate 378 energy. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so it will be perfect for a longboard or a fish. The swell is a bit long in period, so at a beach break like Le Porge, it might wall up a bit, but with those conditions, it’s still a fun little session. That afternoon, the wind turns cross-shore and chops it up.

The next standout is a few days later. Monday morning, 14th September, looks clean again with a 3ft swell from the WNW and a nice 207 (moderate energy) and a light cross-off breeze. A good, cruisy morning.

The following week is generally smaller and wind-affected, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The real gem in this forecast is Sunday morning, 20th September. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a solid 256 (moderate energy) and a light offshore wind from the ENE. It’s a clean, offshore morning that will offer the best shape of the whole run. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Le Porge, so you might have some company, but with clean conditions and a decent swell, it’ll be worth it.

The final week fades out with a tiny, long-period groundswell on the 23rd, but it’s a hollow 0.7ft and not worth the paddle. The period even ticks up to 19 seconds, which is very long, but there’s no height to push it. By Thursday morning, 24th September, we see a small pulse of 3ft from the WNW with a 13-second period and 239 energy, with a clean cross-off breeze. It’s a final little window for a clean, small-wave session before the forecast ends.

For the best waves, hit Wednesday morning 9th September for the biggest, cleanest swell, and Sunday morning 20th September for the cleanest, most fun conditions.

Rusty out.

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.
