The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of the 16-day window is a proper write-off for anything worth paddling out for. The only break on the cards is Le Port, and it’s a rare one that barely fires. We’ve got a long, barren gap with no real surf on offer.
The overall pattern is flat. The first few days, like Sunday the 30th of August, barely register a pulse. We’re looking at a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ENE, with a period of only 3 seconds – that’s just wind chop with no energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is just 1). The water is a very unusual 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The good news is it’s glassy early on Sunday, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter.
Moving into Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell flatlines completely. We get a little 1ft bump from the NE on Tuesday morning with clean offshore winds, but the period is still a pathetic 3 seconds and the energy is negligible (4). It’s just not surf.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is a total desert. From Wednesday the 2nd of September right through to Monday the 14th of September, there’s nothing but zeros in the swell column. The odd day might have glassy conditions, like the afternoon of Monday the 7th of September when a tiny 2ft easterly swell shows up with a 5-second period and a combined energy of 12, but it’s still called “poor surf conditions.” It’s not worth the drive.
The one tiny flicker comes on Sunday the 13th of September morning, with a glassy 1.0ft easterly swell, but again, it’s weak and short-period. The afternoon picks up a little to 1ft from the ESE, but the wind turns onshore, messing it up. By Monday the 14th of September afternoon, the wind is howling at 12 mph from the ESE, making it choppy and ugly.
Because Le Port is a very sheltered spot that rarely breaks, and the swell is almost non-existent, this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area. There’s simply nothing to recommend. Keep the board in the car and wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
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.
