The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a pretty dismal stretch, so don't get your hopes up.
We start off with a few days of nothing rideable. From Tuesday the 14th right through until the morning of Thursday the 24th, it's a write-off. We're talking tiny, weak waves barely pushing 0.7ft to 1.0ft, and the combined energy is a pathetic 4 to 18 – that's just not enough to get a board wet. The wind is often offshore or clean, but there's no swell to work with. It's a long, frustrating gap with no real surf to speak of.
Then, on Thursday the 24th, things get a little more interesting but not in a good way. The swell finally bumps up, hitting 4ft to 4ft from the WSW, with the combined energy jumping to 119 and then 239. That's a solid pulse of moderate wave energy. But here's the kicker – the wind is onshore and the period is a short, snappy 6 to 7 seconds. This is going to be a messy, blown-out mess at Le Poux. For a beach and reef setup, that onshore wind and short period are a recipe for chop and close-outs. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The following days from Friday the 25th onward stay poor. The swell drops back to 3ft and then fades to 2ft, and the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore. The combined energy levels are mostly weak, never breaking into the strong range. It's a continued run of poor surf conditions.
The only real standout in this whole sorry outlook is a couple of brief moments on Sunday the 19th. The swell is still tiny at 0.7ft, but the wind goes glassy, with the combined energy at a measly 7. It would be clean, but you’d be hard-pressed to call it a wave. It's a glimmer of hope, but not a day to get excited about.
Overall, this is a tough stretch for Le Poux. The only pulse of size comes with terrible wind, and the rest of the time, there's simply no energy. It's a blank run, and in this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd find something else to do.
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.
