The Lowdown

Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Le Poux over the next couple of weeks. I won’t lie to you, it’s a lean stretch ahead. This spot, a beach and reef setup, rarely breaks and it’s living up to that reputation in this outlook. There’s a big dry spell right at the start, with nothing worthwhile on Friday or Saturday. The water’s sitting at a warm 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real oddity.

The first chance for a surf comes on Sunday morning, the 6th, but it’s small. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The combined wave energy is weak at just 47, so it’s really only suitable for a longboard or a foamie. Not a standout by any means.

Then it goes quiet again. Monday through to the following Saturday (the 12th) is a write-off. The wind is messy, the swell is either weak or blown out with strong onshore winds. On Monday the 7th, there’s a 3 ft west swell with a very long 14-second period, but the wind is onshore and strong at 12 mph, making for poor conditions. The energy is moderate (292), but you wouldn’t want to be out there.

Things start to look a little more promising on Saturday the 12th. The morning shows a clean 2 ft west swell, with a 9-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s still small, but surfable. The combined energy is weak (61). This theme continues through Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, with clean conditions but tiny waves, dropping to just 1.0 ft.

There’s a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 16th. The morning is glassy – dead calm, no wind, and a 1 ft west-northwest swell with an 11-second period. It’ll be super clean, but the size is minimal. The energy is weak (64). It’s the closest we get to something nice in the first two weeks.

Looking further out, the second week shows a bit more energy. On Thursday the 17th, a clean 4 ft west swell with a 6-second period arrives, but the wind is a strong cross-offshore at 19 mph. By Friday the 18th, we see a 5 ft west swell with a 10-second period and moderate energy (356), again with strong cross-offshore winds. The best bet in the entire outlook looks to be the morning of Saturday the 19th. There’s a 4 ft west swell, a 10-second period, and an offshore wind from the northeast at 16 mph. This will give moderate offshore and clean conditions, with a combined energy of 250. It’s the only session that gets a “good” wave comment. It’s not a monster, but it’s the pick of a very poor bunch.

Honestly, for this area, it’s not surprising to have a long blank run like this. Le Poux is a rare-breaker, and this forecast confirms it. Keep an eye on that Saturday the 19th morning – it’s your best shot, but don’t get your hopes too high.

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.
