The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and degrees Fahrenheit for the imperial side of things.
So, we’re lookin’ at a real quiet spell for Le Poux. This break is a rare breaker, and this 16-day window shows a whole lot of nothing for most of it.
From the start on Monday August 10th, the surf is tiny and weak. The only faint glimmer in the first two weeks is on Wednesday afternoon August 12th: a 2ft swell from the West with a 10-second period and a moderate 48 (moderate wave energy). Winds are offshore from the East at 20 km/h, so it’s clean, but still just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". That’s the high point for a long stretch.
The water on Monday morning is a warm 68°F, which is about 4°F above normal for the season – that’s a nice treat for a dip, even if the surf is flat.
The one real standout in the whole 16-day run is on Tuesday August 25th morning. Finally, a pulse: 4ft of West swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy hits 224 (strong wave energy) and you’ve got a fresh 30 km/h offshore wind from the NE keepin’ it clean and lined up. It’s still only called "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions", but for a spot that almost never breaks, that’s your best bet. The afternoon drops to 4ft with cross-off winds, so catch the morning.
Everything else? Flat, choppy, or blown out. Days with swells under 2ft and energy readings in the single digits like 5, 6, and 10. For an inconsistent spot like this, a blank run like this is normal. Don’t write it off completely – forecasts can change – but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
