The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf outlook for this area.
To be straight with you, this is a tough one. Through this whole 16-day window, there’s barely a ripple worth mentioning. The vast majority of the forecast is showing zero combined swell energy – a big fat goose egg most days. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer.
The only break on the menu is Le Port. This spot is marked as "rarely breaks," and this forecast proves it. The water temperature is a super warm 82°F with an anomaly of 9°F, which is far warmer than normal for the time of year. That’s very unusual.
Let’s run through what little there is. Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th is all zeros and tiny, weak bumps. The first couple of days are glassy calm but flat. On Saturday afternoon the 18th we get a tiny 1ft swell from the S with a period of just 4 seconds and combined energy of only (4). That’s barely a ripple. Sunday morning the 19th is 0.7ft from the ENE (1), and Sunday afternoon is 0.3ft from the SE (2). Monday the 20th morning shows 1ft from the ENE (2), but it’s not enough to do anything.
Through the second week it doesn’t improve. We see bits and pieces like Tuesday the 21st afternoon with 1ft from the SE (4), and then a long gap until Monday the 27th morning when we get a 1ft SE swell with a period of 7 seconds and energy of (11). That’s the most energy in the whole period, but it’s still tiny and weak. Thursday the 30th morning has 1ft from the E (2) with glassy conditions, and that afternoon 1ft from the ENE (3) with glassy wind.
Honestly, there is no standout. There is nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is consistently below 2ft, the periods are short and weak, and the energy never breaks into double digits in a meaningful way. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. If you’re desperate, the glassy morning on the 30th of July with that 1ft might offer a knee-high wobble, but that’s being generous. Kite surfers would find this more interesting than paddle surfers.
This is one to write off. Stay tuned, forecasts can change.

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.
