The Lowdown
Right. I'm Rusty, and I’m not gonna waste your time with fluff. For the next sixteen days around Le Port, it’s grim. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. The whole window is almost completely flat, with a total lack of wave energy.
We get the tiniest hint of a wave on the 1st of September – a 0.3m south-southeast windswell with a period of just 4 seconds and combined energy of 4. That’s less than a foot. The wind is light and cross-shore, but don't let that fool you. There’s no push. It’s poor conditions all the way.
Through the first week, you get some glassy mornings like Thursday the 4th and Sunday the 6th, but there’s nothing to surf. On Sunday the 6th, we see a 0.1m to 0.4m bump, but again it’s a 4-second windswell with terrible energy. The breaks here are very sheltered and rarely break, so you need a proper pulse from the southeast to even have a chance.
The water is a big talking point – on the 31st of August it was 27°C (about 81°F), which is a massive 9°F above the norm. That’s very unusual. The warm water feels weird, but it’s not going to fix the flat spell. For kite surfing, there might be a few afternoons with a bit more wind and chop, like Saturday the 12th, but for paddling in, it's a bust.
There’s a tiny improvement on Wednesday the 9th afternoon: a 0.4m swell from the southeast with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 9. It’s still tiny, and very weak. The wind goes glassy, so the surface will look beautiful, but you’ll just be floating. Later in the second week we see a few more of those 0.1m to 0.4m spikes, but each one is a dud.
The best session of the forecast is on the 9th of September, and it's 0.4m. That’s it. This is a 16-day stretch of basically nothing. There’s no standout. Keep the board in the garage.
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.
