The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you—this is a tough forecast for the region. Over the next 16 days, there's barely a pulse in the water, and the few tiny waves that do show up are all rated as poor surf conditions. Honestly, there's nothing here worth paddling out for.
The first real chance of any surf comes on Monday 17 August morning, with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the south at a short 4 seconds, but the wind is onshore from the SSE, so it's a mess. The afternoon sees the same weak energy (combined energy of just 3), and it's still poor. The next few days are a write-off – Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th offer nothing but flat, clean mornings with no swell, and afternoons with small, choppy windswell from the east or southeast, around 1ft. By Thursday 20 August morning, there's a slightly better 2ft from the southwest (5 seconds) with a cross-offshore NNE breeze, so the surface is clean, but the combined energy is only 18 – still weak as. The afternoon drops back to 2ft and cross-shore wind.
Friday 21 August through to the end of the month is a long, empty gap. No swell, just clean or glassy conditions with no waves. There's a brief moment on Sunday 23 August morning with glassy conditions and a 0.7ft easterly windswell, but it's barely a ripple. The next hint of something is Wednesday 26 August morning, with 2ft from the ENE at 4 seconds, clean under a light NNW breeze, but the combined energy is only 15. It's still poor. The final glimmer is Sunday 30 August morning, with 1ft from the southeast at 7 seconds, glassy conditions, and combined energy of 11. Again, not worth the drive.
The only break in the data is Le Port. It's a very sheltered spot, rarely breaks, and is best for intermediate surfers when there's swell. The water temperature is a whopping 84°F, which is 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like swimming in a bath. But with no real swell on the cards, you're better off grabbing a snorkel or a kite if the wind picks up, because for surfing, it's a total bust. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a blank.
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.
