Alright, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at this. To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking flat as a pancake around here. Le Poux is a beach and reef set-up that rarely breaks, and this forecast is basically a long, drawn-out lull. There’s hardly any swell energy to speak of, with combined energy figures mostly sitting below 60 (weak), and many days dipping into single digits. Water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — about 4°F above average — so at least you’ll be warm while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave that’s not coming.
For Sunday the 5th, early morning shows a tiny 2ft from the west at 10 seconds with a light cross-on breeze — flat and poor. That theme sticks through the week: small 1ft waves, mostly cross-on or onshore winds. By Wednesday the 8th, the afternoon shifts to a clean cross-off from the NNE at 12 mph but there’s barely any swell (1ft, 24 energy) so “clean” doesn’t mean much.
There’s a bit of a shift around the weekend of the 11th and 12th. On Saturday the 11th, we get solid offshore ENE winds around 19-22 mph and clean conditions, but the swell is still only 2ft with a short 8-second period and combined energy of 38 — more of a windswell chop than anything you’d want to paddle for. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th get even smaller (1.0ft and 0.7ft), with strong offshore winds making it glassy but basically unrideable for a surfboard. Kite surfers might find the wind interesting though.
The best of a bad bunch lands on Wednesday the 15th. Morning session at Le Poux shows 2ft from the WNW at 9 seconds, combined energy nudging up to 49, with a moderate offshore breeze (ENE 12 mph) keeping it clean. The wave comment even says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” — which is about as optimistic as this forecast gets. It’s still tiny, but if you’re desperate and just want to feel a bump, that’s your window. From the 16th on, it fades again into 0.7-1.0ft with offshore winds, but energy drops right off.
So there you have it — 16 days with no real standouts, just a thin glimmer on Wednesday the 15th. For the area, this kind of blank run isn’t unusual for this time of year. Keep an eye on the forecasts though; it tends not to stay flat forever.

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.
