The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve been staring at the charts and it’s a pretty grim picture for the region. The finder is coming up completely empty – no recommendations at all across the full 16 days. That’s a tough run, but it happens here. The shelter is just too good at keeping the swell out, and the wind directions we’re seeing just don’t line up to make anything of it.
We’re looking at a solid gap of poor surf conditions from now, right through to the end of August. The only real flicker of life comes right at the end of the window. On Monday the 24th of August, there’s a bit of a pulse in the morning. Le Port is the only game in town, and it’s a rare break, so don’t get your hopes up too high. We’ll see a tiny 3 ft from the SW with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a meagre 35. The wind will be light and cross-off from the N, which will keep the surface clean. The water is absolutely roasting, sitting at 84°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year. After that, the afternoon sees a slight bump to 4 ft from the SW, but it’s onshore wind and the energy jumps to 55 – still not enough to get excited about. For a break that’s very sheltered and rarely breaks, this is about as close as we get.
Truth is, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday the 24th is your only real shot. For the rest of the time, you’re looking at glassy, clean conditions with no waves at all. The wind is often light and sometimes offshore, but there’s simply no swell to push it. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for a spot this tucked away.
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.
