Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about your local stretch. I gotta be straight with you – this is a lean spell. The standout here isn’t much, so let’s not waste time.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Thursday, July 16th. For the first week and a bit, from now right through to the morning of the 16th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell and mostly strong winds. Nothing has the juice or the size to surf. You’ll see the odd glassy morning (like Wednesday the 8th), but the wave height is a measly 1 ft and the combined energy is weak (26). Hardly worth waxing up.
On Thursday morning, July 16th, things get a little interesting. We’ve got a 4 ft swell pushing in from the SW, with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy will be low to moderate (49). The wind will be a clean cross-offshore from the SE, which means the surface will be clean for Le Poux (beach and reef). The water temp is a noticeable 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s unusual. Still, this isn’t a classic wave; the surf is described as "surfable but very ordinary." It's small, short-period swell, so don't expect any juice. The afternoon gets messy with cross-onshore wind, so the morning window is the only shot.
As for the rest of the forecast, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell stays tiny (mostly under 2 ft) through to the 22nd, with the biggest pulse being a 4 ft NW windswell on Tuesday the 21st, but that comes with a weak period of 5 seconds and a cross-onshore. We see more clean, offshore winds pop up late in the second week, but the size just isn’t there. The call is: there’s nothing to get excited about. This break rarely breaks anyway, and this run proves it.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash, you could slide in for a longboard or a foiling session on the morning of Thursday the 16th. That’s your best, and only, real option in the whole 16-day window.
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.
