Le Port Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’ve looked over the charts for the next couple of weeks and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a proper flat spell coming up for Le Port. This is one of those times where the ocean just isn’t cooperating, and there’s not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. Let’s get into it.

The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a whopping 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual – you’ll be surfing in bathwater conditions, no wetsuit needed, just boardies.

Right now, Sunday morning the 16th is glassy and clean, but there’s zero swell. The combined wave energy is a measly 0 – just no waves on offer. The whole of Sunday and Monday are the same story: flat, clean mornings, but nothing to ride. Tuesday the 18th morning sees a tiny pulse of 1ft from the southeast with a 5-second period, combined energy of only 17, and glassy conditions. That’s about as small as it gets, barely a ripple. The afternoon is a little bigger at 2ft but still super weak and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for.

From Wednesday the 19th through to Monday the 24th, it’s almost all zeros on the energy scale. A few days show a little bump like Thursday afternoon the 20th with 2ft from the south at 4 seconds and a combined energy of 11, but it’s choppy and messy. Friday the 21st morning has a glassy 2ft from the southwest, period of 5 seconds, energy at 21 – still tiny and weak. That theme continues into Saturday the 22nd morning with another 2ft glassy swell, but the period is only 4 seconds, so it’s just mushy windswell.

After that, we run into another long gap of flatness from Sunday the 23rd right through to Tuesday the 25th morning. That Tuesday morning finally shows a bit more life: 4ft from the south-southwest with a 6-second period, combined energy of 77. That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but it’s still weak and the period is short. The wind is glassy, so it’d be clean, but the energy is just not there for proper waves. Tuesday afternoon gets wrecked by a strong 25 mph southwesterly wind, so that’s a no-go.

The rest of the run from Wednesday the 26th to Monday the 31st is mostly flat again, with a few tiny pulses of 2ft or 1ft that are too small to get excited about. The wind is often cross-off or light, but without swell, it’s just a blank ocean.

Look, Le Port is a very sheltered spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. The whole 16-day period is a write-off. There’s just no decent swell arriving. The only thing I can say is that the water is incredibly warm, so if you just want to float around in the sun, it’s a good week for that. But for surfing? Save your energy and check back later – forecasts can change, but right now this is a total flat spell.
