Le Porge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cooking for Le Porge.

Alright, so the big takeaway? We’ve got a bit of a waiting game on our hands. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off with poor surf conditions thanks to a persistent cross-shore wind and a lot of chop. You’re looking at a gap of about six days with no proper surf on offer. The water’s sitting at 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest suit.

Wednesday the 16th is a non-starter – small, weak 4ft swell from the WNW with a short 7-second period meaning weak, lumpy waves. The combined energy is a moderate 258, and the cross wind is just gonna mess it up.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th offer a little more size, up to 6ft on Friday afternoon, but that’s where the good news ends. The period is still short, and the cross-onshore wind is tearing it up, making for choppy conditions. Friday morning might be your best ‘meh’ option with a light cross-shore and 4ft swell, but it’s still nothing to write home about.

The Standout: You have to wait, but Saturday the 19th morning is looking like the real deal. That’s your session. We’re getting a clean 5ft groundswell from the WNW with a solid 13-second period. The combined energy is a strong 679, so there’ll be some grunt behind them. The real winner is the glassy wind – total flat calm. That'll make for some stunning, clean lines. Perfect for a beginner spot like Le Porge.

Sunday the 20th morning is also decent. The swell drops a touch to 4ft, period is still a good 11 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things clean.

Then we hit another lull. The next real standout doesn't roll around until Wednesday the 23rd of September. That morning, a clean 4ft swell from the west with a very long 15-second period lines up with a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is 613, so it’s got some push, and that offshore wind will groom it perfectly.

Another Strong Option: Keep your eye on Saturday the 26th of September, morning. Again, a 4ft swell from the west with a 14-second period, but this time with a light cross-offshore wind from the NE. Clean conditions with real power behind it (combined energy of 550). That morning is going to be fantastic.

Just a heads up, the end of the month on the 30th of September sees a massive spike in swell to 12ft from the west. For a spot like Le Porge, that’s way too big for beginners and only really on for experts if at all. The energy is a staggering 3438, but it's basically a washing machine for that break.

So, to sum it up: be patient, have a paddle on the 19th morning for your glassy gems, and then circle the 23rd and 26th mornings for when the clean, longer-period swells line up with the right wind.
