The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a rough one for the region. The finder is basically empty, and the guidance confirms it: Le Port is a very sheltered spot that rarely breaks, so we’re looking at a long 16-day stretch with nothing worth paddling out for.
Right now, through the end of August and into the first week of September, there’s simply no rideable swell on the cards. You’ll see some tiny pulses of 0.7ft to 2ft, but with periods under 6 seconds and weak combined energy (mostly single-digit values, peaking at 75 on the 29th of August afternoon), it’s just not enough to push through. The wind does offer some glassy moments, like the morning of the 25th of August or the 31st of August, but without any swell to work with, it’s a flat, pretty lake.
The only flicker of something happens on the 29th of August afternoon, when a 4ft swell from the SW rolls in with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 75 (moderate). That is the biggest bump we see, but the wind is cross-onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, making it choppy. Even then, the guidance tells us this break is “rarely breaks” and “very sheltered” from the optimum SE direction – so that SW swell is never going to wrap in properly. It’s poor surf conditions, plain and simple.
After that, we drop back to nothing. The 5th of September morning shows a tiny 1ft from the east with glassy conditions, but at 4 seconds and 4 energy, it’s not going to break. The 6th of September is more of the same.
The water temperature on the 23rd of August is 82°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, but it doesn’t help the waves.
Honestly, for this stretch, you’re better off leaving the boards at home. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 29th of August afternoon might give you a bump, but don’t expect to catch anything. The setup here is so sheltered that without a proper SE groundswell, it just stays flat. Forecasts can change, but this blank run looks normal for the area.
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.
