The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the 16-day picture for Le Port.
First thing to say is straight up: there is nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. Not a single worthwhile wave in the whole window. We’ve got a long, blank run ahead of us. I’m talking about a stretch with no real surf from August 28th all the way through to September 12th. That’s a tough run for any surfer.
The water temps are absolutely cranked, sitting at a very unusual 81°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s freakishly warm water, but it doesn’t mean a thing if there’s no swell to go with it.
On August 28th, Friday afternoon, we see a combined swell energy of just 0 (zero), with a cross-shore wind and chop. It’s a write-off. The 29th has a tiny 0.3 ft SE swell but with a period of only 4 seconds – that’s windswill, not surf. Even though the morning is clean with a light offshore, the energy is a measly 1 (one). Not worth the wetsuit.
There are some glassy mornings, like August 30th and September 1st, with zero swell. You could sit out there on a flat day, but you won’t catch a thing. Later on, around September 10th, Thursday afternoon, we get the highest combined energy in the whole forecast – a whopping 17 (seventeen) – with a 2 ft swell from the east at 5 seconds. That’s still weak, short-period junk, and the wind is cross-onshore. Not a chance.
Then on September 11th, Friday morning, we see a 1 ft SE swell with an 8-second period and a light offshore breeze. That’s the cleanest the forecast gets, but the energy is only 9 (nine) and the swell is tiny. You’d be scratching for knee-high dribblers. Le Port is already a rarely breaking spot, and it’s living up to that reputation.
The bottom line is there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. When a spot is this inconsistent and the forecast shows zero rideable waves, it’s just one of those normal blank runs for the area. Keep the board waxed and hope the charts look better next time.
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.
