The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for Le Poux, and I gotta be straight – there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Not a single surfable wave in the forecast. The spot is a beginner-friendly beach-and-reef setup that rarely breaks anyway, so a long blank stretch like this isn’t out of the ordinary. If you’re hanging around hoping for a pulse, the models are showing zilch. The water temperature right now is sitting at 66°F with a 5°F anomaly – that’s much warmer than average for this time of year, which is a kicker, but without any swell it’s just a warm bath. The wind will be offshore or clean on plenty of days, but with swell heights barely cracking 0.7 ft and periods short, there’s just no energy. By the 25th of July we see a little bump – 4 ft to 5 ft – but it’s short period (5–7 seconds), cross-onshore, and the combined energy only reaches 171 (moderate), yet the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions”. That’s not going to produce anything rideable. So the honest truth: you’re better off doing something else. Forecasts can change, but right now this is a total dry spell.

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.
