The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for your local stretch. Honestly, it's a bit of a tough gig this time around. We're looking at a 16-day window starting now, and for the first two weeks, it's pretty much a write-off for anything worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn't pop up until Friday, August 7th. The whole period before that is a long, bleak stretch of tiny waves and poor surf conditions, so you can leave your board in the shed for a while.

Alright, so let's talk about that Friday, August 7th. Le Poux finally sees a pulse of energy. The swell is coming from the west at about 3 ft with an 8-second period, pushing a combined energy of 116 into the beach and reef setup. It's not a classic groundswell, period is short, but at least it's something. The wind is a light breeze from the north, which is cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. The problem is, on every other day, the conditions have been poor, with a lot of cross-onshore or fresh wind making a mess of things.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report on that front.

Honestly, there's nothing else that jumps out as a standout. The whole period is plagued by tiny swell or messy wind. If you're desperate for a paddle, that early August window is your only real shot, but don't get your hopes up for anything special. The pattern we've seen is that it stays flat or poor for long stretches, so a blank run like this isn't unusual for this area. Let's just hope the forecasts improve.

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.
