The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a rough patch for Le Poux. This is a beach and reef set-up that’s rarely breaking, and the outlook over the next 16 days is a long, dry spell. The combined wave energy is weak, staying under 100 for the first stretch, and the swell is tiny. We’re looking at a solid gap with no real surf on offer.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
From Friday the 31st of July right through to the 14th of August, it’s a flat-out bust. The swell barely cracks 2 ft, and it’s mostly short-period windswell, under 8 seconds, with poor conditions. Winds are all over the place – cross, onshore, and at times moderate – keeping the surface choppy and messy. Even when we get a glassy moment on the 2nd of August, it’s only 1 ft. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real bump in the road comes on Friday the 14th of August. The swell jumps to 6 ft out of the west, with a moderate wave energy. That’s the biggest push we see. But, the period is a short 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore. It’s not going to be clean. Still, for a spot that’s mostly flat, it’s a bit of a pulse. The swell is over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners, but the quality is poor.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single standout. The forecasts can change, but this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for Le Poux. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
