The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and wax, folks. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range picture for Le Poux.
Let me put it plain: this stretch is a flat spell with a tease at the end. For the next week and a half, we are looking at a whole lotta nothing. From Monday the 27th of July right through to around Saturday the 8th of August, there’s just no quality surf on the cards. We’re talking tiny, weak, and chopped-up conditions. The swell energy is sitting at pathetic two-digit numbers for most of it, barely mustering a whisper. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, keeping the surface messy. There’s a couple of cleaner moments, like the Tuesday afternoon of the 28th with a light cross-off breeze and very clean surface, but the swell is only 1 ft with a measly 26 combined energy. It’s a total non-event. You’d be better off finding something else to do.
Then we get to Sunday the 9th of August, and it finally wakes up. The forecast points to a solid pulse of west-southwest swell arriving, with 7 ft to 7 ft sets and combined energy jumping right up to 266 and then 582 (moderate to strong wave energy). The period is a short, bumpy 6 to 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat and fast, but the wind is looking sweet – light and cross-offshore, keeping everything clean. This is the standout. It’s not for beginners; that 7 ft is pushing into expert territory, so it’s a session for the crew with some experience. There’s some promise there, just don’t hold your breath for the days before.
So, to sum it up: Le Poux (beach and reef) is as close to a flat spell as you can get for the first week and a half, with one solid day on Sunday the 9th of August that has potential for the more experienced. It’s a waiting game, but that window could be worth the patience.

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.
