The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been chewing on the charts for Le Poux for the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is a long, flat stretch with no real standout sessions. The swell just doesn’t line up with the wind, and when there is a bit of energy, it’s sloppy or blown out. This is a spot that rarely breaks, and this outlook shows exactly why.
The first real hope doesn’t come until Thursday, 12 September, when a weak 3ft swell from the west is hanging around. The morning sees a moderate onshore breeze, and the wave energy is a modest 108 – not enough to get excited about. The afternoon is even worse, with the wind right onshore and the waves dropping to 3ft. It’s a no-go.
Then there’s a glimmer on Sunday, 15 September. The afternoon has a 2ft swell from the west-northwest with a very long period of 16 seconds, which is classic groundswell. The combined energy hits 219, which is moderate, and the wind is fresh offshore from the northeast, leaving the surface glassy. It’s a clean window, but the swell is tiny. It’s surfable, but only just. The long period will make waves break a bit straight at this beach-and-reef setup, so you’ll need to find a bank that works.
The next day, Monday, 16 September, is a tease. The period is still long at 14 seconds, and the swell is 2ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the south-southwest, putting a ripple on the surface. It’s a poor surf condition, and the energy is moderate at 198 – just not worth the paddle.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off: tiny waves, onshore winds, or no energy at all. The water temperature is much warmer than normal for this time of year – sitting at 20°C, which is a solid 3° above average. That’s a nice touch if you’re just floating around, but it doesn’t help the surf.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best on offer is the Sunday afternoon session, but even that’s a marginal call. It’s a spot that rarely breaks, and this run shows why. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t plan a trip around it.

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.
