The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the local surf, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.

For the next couple of weeks, Le Poux is a total bust. It’s a beach and reef setup that *rarely breaks*, and the forecast is living up to that reputation. The first glimmer of anything rideable is a long way off.

We’ve got a flat spell from now all the way through the 27th of July. We’re talking ankle-snappers at 0.3ft to 1ft with weak, short-period energy (combined energy numbers in the single digits to teens). The water is a balmy 66°F, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to paddle for.

The first sign of life comes on the 25th of July, Saturday morning. The swell jumps to 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and poor. The afternoon pushes up to 5ft, but it’s still choppy. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 117. For a beach and reef setup like this, the wind is so bad it’s more of a kiteboarding session than a surf session.

The best we’re going to see is on the 26th of July, Sunday morning. The wind switches to a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north at 12 mph. The swell is a solid 4ft from the WNW, and the energy is hitting 131. It’s clean. That’s your window. The size is manageable for most, but the wind is the real hero here. Expect company, because this spot gets crowded when it turns on.

The next chance is a whisper on the 28th of July, Tuesday morning. The wind goes glassy with a light 3 mph breeze from the WSW. The swell is tiny at 2ft, and the energy is weak at 40. It’s the only day in the whole run that gets a “surfable” rating. It’s knee-high, but the surface will be like a mirror. You’ll have to work for it.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the month and into August is a blur of tiny swells, weak energy, and messy cross-shore winds. The first week of August is looking like a total flat spell with 1ft dribble.

So, here’s the call: the only day to get excited about is the 26th of July, Sunday morning. It’s the one shot at a clean, chest-high wave with a good wind. Everything else is a long wait for nothing. I’d save the gas money.

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.
