The Lowdown
G’day surfers, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. We’ve got a long, flat, and messy stretch ahead. For the first week, there is nothing worth getting wet for. The waves are tiny, the winds are on it, and there’s just no energy.
Starting Thursday the 10th, we're looking at surf under 2 feet, with the wind blowing right on it. The energy is weak [50]. It carries on like this through the weekend. Friday sees a slight bump, maybe 4 feet, but the cross-onshore wind chops it all up, and the energy is still only moderate [394]. It’s just messy. Through the 15th, the swell stays between 1 and 3 feet, and the energy stays under 250, which is weak to moderate. There’s a moment Tuesday afternoon when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 2 feet. Not worth it.
In the second week, we get a bit more size from Wednesday the 16th. The wind turns cross-offshore, but the swell stays around 3 feet, with a period of 8 seconds. Energy is moderate [173]. It’s clean, but small and weak. The direction is from the W, which is fine, but there's not enough push.
Then the swell finally shows up. The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees a real pulse. Saturday afternoon the 19th jumps to 6 feet, and Sunday morning the 20th hits 7 feet. The combined energy is strong [377]. That’s a lot of water. But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-onshore from the west. It’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. This is a beach and reef setup, so with that size and onshore wind, it could be more interesting for the kite surfers. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s not a clean groundswell, just a lot of chaotic water.
After that, it drops off fast. Monday and Tuesday the 21st and 22nd go back to under 4 feet. The wind goes offshore on the 23rd and 24th, which is great, but the swell drops to 2 feet. It’ll be clean, but you’ll just be bobbing.
Look, Le Poux is a spot that rarely breaks. It’s inconsistent, and this forecast shows exactly why. For this place, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. The only real size is on the 20th, but the conditions are poor. It’s not worth your time. The forecast could change, but as it stands, you’re better off staying dry. There's nothing here that's worth the effort.
Rusty.

Information about the Le Poux Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Poux provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Poux can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Poux 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 Poux) 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 Poux 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 Poux is 21 km (13 miles) from Octeville. If you plan a holiday in Normandy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Octeville. Octeville has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
