Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Poux over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at Le Poux, a beach and reef set-up, and honestly, the next 16 days are a write-off for any decent surf. There’s nothing ridable on offer. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions just don’t line up. It’s a rare-breaking spot at the best of times, and this is one of those times where it’s flat or close to it.
Let’s run through it. From Wednesday the 8th through to Thursday the 23rd of July, it’s a long, barren stretch. The water temp is sitting at 65° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 5° above average – that’s pretty unusual. But that’s about the only thing worth noting.
The first few days, Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 25 to 29. Winds are offshore or cross-off on Thursday morning, which is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s just flat.
Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th, the swell stays miniscule, 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with energy dropping as low as 1. The wind cranks up from the ENE, strong offshore and clean, but you can’t paddle into a ripple, let alone a wave. It’s a kite surfer’s dream with that wind, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
From Monday the 13th, the swell disappears completely for a couple of days, then we get a ghost of a 0.3 ft wave with a long period of 12 seconds on the 14th – energy of just 3. That’s a groundswell with zero power. The rest of the week through to the 23rd is more of the same: tiny bumps, messy onshore winds, and combined energy never breaking 25. The best we see is 2 ft with a period of 4 seconds on the 20th and 21st – that’s just wind chop, not surf.
So, to sum it up: there’s nothing here for a surfer over the next 16 days. This kind of blank run is more normal for an area that rarely breaks anyway. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother paddling out. Keep the board waxed for another time.
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.
