Le Port Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The forecast is showing a long, empty stretch with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a gap of about 16 days where the waves just aren’t showing up. It’s a bleak run for Le Port, and the only option we’ve got on the books is a spot that’s already known for being a tough call.

The only break worth mentioning is Le Port. It’s a very sheltered setup, and it rarely breaks, so you’d be waiting for a miracle. The first and only tiny pulse of energy shows up on the morning of Friday, August 7th. The swell is a pathetic 1.0ft out of the ENE, with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not a wave you’d want to paddle for. The combined energy is a measly 2 (2), so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy though, which is about the only thing going for it. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is a massive 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual warm spell, something you’d normally only see in a bathtub.

After that, it’s a ghost town. The entire rest of the 16-day window is filled with zeros. Every single entry is marked as “poor surf conditions.” There’s no swell, and the wind is often cross or onshore. It’s pretty much a blank run for the area.

The setup is so quiet, with such weak, short-period energy and a very sheltered exposure, that if you’re really desperate for a session, you’d be better off looking for something else. For the paddle surfer, there’s simply nothing here. The few moments of glassy conditions are a tease, but without any swell, they’re just flat water. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes the ocean just gives you nothing.

Rusty.
