The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Le Port. I’ve looked at the charts, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking like a flat spell from hell. The data shows a long stretch of no surf and poor conditions, so don’t expect to get wet anytime soon.
Right now, we’re looking at a gap that starts immediately and runs right through to the morning of Thursday, August 20th. The water here is a warm 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s pumping.
The first real chance of a wave arrives on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 16, so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is a light cross-off from the N, which will keep the surface clean, but it’s just too small and weak to get excited about. The surf quality is still poor.
Things stay miserable for days. The next little bump comes on the morning of Monday, August 24th, with a 0.7ft SSW swell and a 3-second period. The energy is almost nothing (1). A light offshore from the NNW will make it glassy, but this is not a wave you’d paddle for. It’s barely a wrinkle.
The best of a bad bunch, if you can call it that, shows up on the morning of Sunday, August 30th. There’s a 2ft swell from the E with a 4-second period, giving us a combined energy of 9. The wind is a light cross-off from the N, keeping it clean. The period is short, so it’ll be weak and crumbly, but it’s the only time the wind and swell line up even slightly. It’s still rated as poor surf, so don’t get your hopes up.
The data doesn’t give us a single standout session. The consistency is awful, and most of the time there’s zero swell. Hang up the wetsuit for a couple of weeks, check back later, and hope the forecasts change. Keep your chin up. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
