The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The models are showing a real flat spell, and there’s no good surf on offer for the first week and a half. We’re talkin’ a solid gap from now, right through to about the 26th of July, with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell energy is just pathetic, mostly single-digit numbers (like 5 or 6) and tiny waves barely breaking. A few mornings have that glassy look, especially on the 25th, but with only 0.3 ft on offer, it’s a lake, not a surf break.
Things start to get a pulse around the 26th of July, but it’s still a messy picture. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period and weak. The best looking window in the whole 16 days comes on the morning of Tuesday, 28th July. The wind is coming from the N (12 mph), which is a clean offshore for Le Poux (beach and reef). The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 184, which is the strongest we see. It’s not a classic stand-out by any stretch, but it’s the only morning that’s worth a look. The waves will be a bit lumpy from the cross-shore in the afternoon, but the morning session should be clean.
After that, it fades fast again. The 29th of July drops back to 1 ft, and the rest of the outlook is more of the same – tiny, weak, and often choppy. The water temp is a notable 67°F, which is a full 5°F warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a real treat, feels like a warm bath compared to usual.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Tuesday, 28th July is your only real shot. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough run.
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.
