The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's coming up for Le Poux. I'll be honest with you, it's a tough stretch ahead, so we'll just take it day by day.

The overall pattern for this 16-day window is far from ideal. We're looking at a long, quiet start with nothing worthwhile on the cards until we get to Saturday the 5th of September. Even then, it's a modest window. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual and a real bonus if you're brave enough to get in despite the lack of waves.

The first genuine chance to wet a line comes on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We've got a glassy, clean morning with a tiny 3ft west swell pushing through at a short 9-second period. The combined energy is weak (109). It's surfable, but only just. It's ordinary conditions, but clean and ridable for a beginner on a foamy. The morning of the 11th of September (Friday) is the standout in the whole window. That morning looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a solid 7ft west swell (7-second period). The energy is moderate (356), and conditions are forecast to be good. The 7ft size is getting up there, so it's more for the competent intermediate crowd; it'll be a bit much for beginners.

After that, the rest of the window is a write-off. The afternoon of the 11th goes choppy, and from the 12th onwards it's a mess of poor to marginal conditions with strong cross-onshore winds. The 12th of September has some potential with a 5ft west swell and a long 10-second period, but the light cross-onshore wind and questionable tide make it a tough call. The 15th of September has a 4ft west swell with a very long 13-second period, but again, cross-onshore chop ruins it.

So, the bottom line: if you're desperate, the morning of the 11th of September is the only proper standout. Set your alarm. The glassy Saturday morning on the 5th is the only other time I'd even consider paddling out.

That's the lot from this corner.

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.
