The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the best of the run is coming up this Thursday morning, the 17th of September. We’ve got a solid 5ft of groundswell out of the WNW, with a long 11-second period, and it’s going to be dead flat calm, glassy conditions—absolutely no wind. The combined energy (460) is moderate, and those conditions will make for some super clean, lined-up waves at Le Porge. The water is sitting at 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest rubber.
The wind is set to junk it up in the afternoons on Thursday, but the next morning, Friday the 18th, also looks very promising. You've got that same 5ft WNW swell with a lighter 9-second period, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore. It’ll be clean and punchy, with moderate energy (336) in the water. This is another standout window.
If you’re holding out for something bigger, mark your calendar for Saturday morning, the 19th of September. We’re looking at a 5ft groundswell from the WNW, with a long 13-second period. The energy jumps up to strong (769) and it’s glassy again. That’s proper open-face, powerful waves. Snag that early slot because the wind switches onshore by the afternoon.
The following week sees a few windows of clean small-to-medium surf. Sunday the 20th morning has 4ft with a 11-second period and a light cross-off breeze. Monday the 21st morning has a smaller 3ft swell, but it’s got a long 13-second period and clean offshore conditions. The combined energy (456) is still moderate thanks to that period, so it’ll be worth a paddle. Tuesday the 22nd morning is also clean with 3ft from the WNW and light offshore wind.
After that, the surf tapers off significantly. The end of the month has a few tiny, clean days, but nothing worth getting excited about until the 25th of September. That Friday morning brings a tricky, very long-period 15-second groundswell, but only 3ft. That kind of period at a beach can be a bit fat, but the wind is light cross-off, so the afternoon session might have a few sneaky ones with the 14-second pulse.
Overall, the real fire is this weekend. Don’t sleep on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
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.
