The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly mate, this is a tough stretch. We've got a long, dry spell ahead with nothing really worth paddling out for. It’s a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The wind is going to be a real pain in the neck, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little swell we see. The only flicker of hope is a tiny window of glassy conditions towards the end of the second week, but the swell will be tiny.

Right now, through Saturday the 14th, it’s all poor surf conditions with weak onshore wind. We get small 2ft to 4ft west swells, but the wind is just too strong and from the wrong direction. The combined swell energy is low, mostly under 100 (63), and it's just not going to be any fun.

Sunday the 15th through to Saturday the 21st sees a bit more size, with swell heights touching 5ft on the 19th, but the wind remains onshore or cross-onshore and often fresh. You’ll get some moderate wave energy mid-week, with the combined energy hitting 230 on Sunday the 13th, but it’s all blown out. By the afternoon of the 17th, a 5ft swell with a short 6 second period and a fresh cross-onshore wind will make it lumpy and messy. Honestly, on those days, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Finally, on Sunday the 20th of September, there's a tiny glimpse of something better. The morning shows a glassy wind, a slight air, but the swell is only 2ft from the west with a weak 62 combined energy. Still, glassy is glassy, and these waves are rated as surfable but very ordinary. That’s the only morning in the whole period where the wind truly cleans up, so if you're desperate for a splash, that’s your one and only chance.

After that, from Monday the 21st onwards, it just fades away. We get offshore winds from the east on the 23rd, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1ft. By the 24th and 25th, the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7ft, with combined energy down in the single digits (4-7). The water temp at the start was 67°F, which is 5° warmer than normal, so that's a much warmer than average dip on the 12th.

So there it is. A long gap of poor conditions, one morning of clean but tiny surf on the 20th, and then another stretch of flatness. Le Poux (beach and reef) is rarely breaks anyway, so a blank run like this is a bit more normal for this spot. Keep an eye on the charts, things can always turn around.

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.
