The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch for Le Port (Réunion) is a real tough one. We’re looking at a classic extended dry spell where the ocean just isn’t giving us anything to work with.
The entire 16-day window is basically a blank run. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, and honestly, not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy never even gets off the ground, with a peak of just 17 (moderate energy) on August 27th, but that’s paired with onshore wind that makes it sloppy. For a spot that already "rarely breaks," this is a brutal stretch.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual anomaly, but it doesn’t help the waves.
Let’s run through the few scraps we get. On August 25th, Tuesday morning, there’s a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW with a period of 2 seconds. That’s pure wind chop, not worth a look. The 27th sees a 1.0ft swell from the NE on Thursday morning, but it’s a messy 3-second period. On Thursday afternoon, we get a 2ft swell from the ESE with a 5-second period, but the wind is onshore and choppy. August 30th gives us a glassy Sunday morning with a 1ft swell from the NE, but the period is only 4 seconds – it’s tiny and weak. September 2nd offers a 2ft swell from the NE on Wednesday morning with a 4-second period and clean offshore wind, but it’s just too small and weak to call good.
Beyond that, it’s flat, calm, or blown out. The wind does go offshore or glassy at times – like the morning of August 28th with a gentle offshore breeze, or the morning of the 30th with glassy conditions – but there’s simply no swell to work with.
For a spot like Le Port that is "very sheltered" and rarely breaks, this kind of quiet run is more normal than unusual. It’s not a place that gets consistent pumping waves, so a fortnight of nothing is just part of the deal. The energy levels are too low for any kind of paddle surfing. If you’re desperate, a kite might get some interest on the afternoon of the 27th when the onshore wind is strong and the chop builds, but for us surfers, leave the board at home.
Keep your eyes on the charts, things can change. For now, the water’s warm but the waves are dead.
Rusty.

Information about the Le Port Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Port provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Port can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Port 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 Port) 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 Port 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 Port is 1 km (1 miles) from Menton. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Menton. Menton has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
