The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this Le Poux (beach and reef) outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a proper struggle, with barely a whisper of surf quality. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly messy, so don’t go getting your hopes up. We’re looking at a long, blank run with almost nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real chance to even think about a session comes on Wednesday, August 5th. The morning shows a little pulse of life with a 3ft swell from the W, but the energy is still weak (86). The wind is a clean, cross-off from the SE at 9 mph, which is about the best we’ll see. The water is a warm 67°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, by about 4°F, so that’s a weird one. Still, the waves are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t expect much. One to keep an eye on but not a standout.
Other than that, the rest of the period is a write-off. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2ft, with short periods around 8-9 seconds. The wind is constantly cross or cross-on, mostly from the NW or NNW, making for choppy, messy conditions. It’s a long stretch of nothing, and honestly, this spot is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
There’s nothing here to get excited about. It’s a no-go for the next two weeks.

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.
