The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for our little corner of the world. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is looking like a long, flat wait with hardly a crumb on offer.

We're starting off today, the 15th of July, and it's a tough one. The swell is tiny, just 0.7 ft of weak-ass WNW windswell. The combined energy is a measly 7, which is barely enough to get a ripple going. There's a fresh offshore wind blowing from the ENE at 22 mph, which would be a dream if there was any wave to hold up, but there isn't. The water's a balmy 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost 5° above average. But you won't be swimming, you'll be sitting on the beach. Le Poux is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks anyway, and this confirms it.

This flat spell drags on for over two weeks. From the 15th right through to the 28th of July, every single session is labelled as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. The swell stays locked at 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft, with energy readings barely reaching double digits. You'll see pockets of glassy wind and offshore breezes, like on Monday the 20th with 3 mph NNW wind – glassy as a mirror – but with 0.3 ft swell, there's nothing to surf.

Finally, on Wednesday the 29th of July, we see a tiny pulse. The swell tries to kick up to 4 ft from the WNW, with weak 6-second period. The energy climbs to 96, which is still weak. But the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW, blowing at 9 mph, leaving it choppy and ugly. Still zero-rated.

The only half-decent moment in the entire outlook is on Thursday the 30th of July. The swell hovers around 3 ft to 4 ft from the west, with a short period of just 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a modest 58 to 91. The wind finally goes clean, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph on the morning. It's surfable, but very ordinary. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a rare event, but don't expect much. The afternoon messes it up again with a moderate cross-shore.

Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. The whole 16 days is a bust. With the swell this tiny and the break being so inconsistent, this kind of blank run is normal for the area. Keep the board waxed, but don't hold your breath. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a long, hard wait.

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.
