The Lowdown
Alright, looking at this stretch, it’s a bummer for Le Port. We’ve got a long 16-day window starting Monday, August 17, and it’s flat from the get-go.
The first full week is a total loss. Monday the 17th has zero swell and glassy conditions, but nothing to ride. Tuesday the 18th shows a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft of swell, but it’s weak and the wind is messy – not worth the paddle. Wednesday the 19th is flat again, and the “poor surf conditions” just keep coming, day after day.
The water temp is running at a very unusual 84°, which is about 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. Weird, but no surf to enjoy it in.
There’s a gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth talking about. The only tiny glimmer shows up on Sunday, August 31, in the morning. We get a little bump: a 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s short-period, weak stuff. The wind is cross-off and clean, which is a plus, and the combined energy is a low 29 (weak). The waves will be tiny and gutless.
Because Le Port is very sheltered and “rarely breaks”, this kind of flat spell is actually normal for the area. It’s a tough place to get waves.
There’s nothing to highlight as a standout. The only possible surf is that last morning of the month, and it’s nothing to get excited about. For a surfer, this is a time to stay home and tune up your gear.

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.
