Alright, I'm back. I won't say it's a ripper of a fortnight for Le-Poux though.
To be brutally honest, the whole 16-day window is a flat spell. There's no standout period, no real reason to get the wetsuit on. The first week has tiny, weak little bumps coming from the WNW, but the reading on the energy is so low – we're talking values of 25 to 30 – that it’s just not going to break properly. It’s poor all the way.
Even when the wind goes glassy on Wednesday the 8th, or turns offshore from the ENE Thursday and Friday, the swell is a pathetic 1ft. You can stare at it all you like, but it’s not going to give you a ride. The period is short too, hovering around 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s junk.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, the wind really cranks up offshore from the NE, gusting up to 28 mph. The swell drops even further to 0.7ft or 0.3ft. That much wind on that tiny a wave just makes it an impossible paddle. Too much wind, not enough ocean.
After that, we get a long, quiet stretch. The second week is dead flat. You get a few pulses of very weak energy, but nothing crests over 0.7ft. The highest numbers come right at the end, on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of July, where we finally see a 4ft lump on Wednesday the 22nd. But that's a short-period, 5-second windswell from the WSW with onshore wind. The energy reading is a weak 69. It's gonna be messy and blown out. Not worth the look.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle if anything kicks up. But for us surfers, it's a solid two weeks of no-go. Sometimes you just gotta watch the tide come in and go out.

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.
