The Lowdown

Righto, grab a cuppa, because this is a tough one. Over the next couple of weeks at Le Poux, we are in for a real dry spell. Honestly, for the vast majority of this 16-day run, you’ll be fighting onshore wind and messy conditions. The wave energy is low and the quality just isn’t there for a proper paddle session. The first real sniff of anything decent doesn’t pop up until the very end of the period, and even then, it’s tiny.

Forget the first week entirely. From Friday the 11th all the way through to Friday the 18th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got constant cross-onshore winds, mostly from the west, and the swell is either too small or too junky. The combined swell energy is often weak, sitting below 100 (like 63 or 83), and even when it jumps up to 275 on Wednesday the 16th, the wind is cross-shore and messy. It’s not worth paddling out.

We finally get a break in the wind on the afternoon of Monday the 14th. A glassy window with 2 ft of west swell at 9 seconds rolls in. The water temp is a notable 67°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. But the waves are just ordinary—small and weak. It’s surfable, but barely worth the effort.

The pattern stays poor until the tail end of the second week. The standout moment—and I mean the only real highlight—arrives on Saturday the 21st of September. The morning is blown out again, but the afternoon at Le Poux (a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks) shows some promise. We get a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the southeast at 6 mph, with 2 ft of west swell at 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 63, but the clean conditions make it the best we’ve seen. It’s small, but if you’re desperate for a slide on a longboard, that’s your window.

Otherwise, this is a long, flat, and choppy outlook. Le Poux is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is proving that. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s not much to get excited about.

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.
