The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked over the next 16 days for Le Poux, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. This spot is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and the weather gods are just not playing ball. We’ve got a long, dry run of nothing worth paddling out for, with only a tiny glimmer way down the line. Let’s get into it.

We start off on Monday, September 7th, with some clouds and a moderate breeze. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the west, with a long 15-second period, but the wind is onshore and messy. Combined energy is weak (245). The water is 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. The whole first week is a write-off. Tuesday through the following Monday are all marked by poor surf conditions—cross-onshore winds, choppy waves, and combined energy that never gets strong. The swell heights bobble around 1ft to 5ft, but the wind and quality just aren’t there.

The only real glimmer comes on Tuesday, September 15th, in the morning. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions with some clouds. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy is moderate (139). The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, but the surf report still says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only time the wind lines up. The afternoon sees a longer-period 12-second swell from the same direction, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so that window slams shut.

After that, the second week is a mess. Wednesday, September 16th, brings strong cross-onshore winds and a tiny 2ft swell. Thursday, September 17th, sees a huge spike in combined energy—1849 on the morning—with an 12ft swell from the west, but the wind is screaming onshore at 35 km/h. That’s expert-only territory in terrible conditions, and the setup looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle session. The weekend of September 19th to 20th has some size, with 7ft to 7ft swells, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short (6-8 seconds), making for lumpy, messy waves. The combined energy is strong (901 on the Saturday afternoon), but the quality is poor.

Finally, on Monday, September 21st, we get a shift. A north-northeast wind gives us clean, cross-offshore conditions in the morning and afternoon. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8-10 seconds, and combined energy is moderate (173-203). The report says “clean” conditions, which is a big deal here. But the surf is still rated as “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” It’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s not a day to get excited about. The same pattern holds on Tuesday, September 22nd, with clean cross-offshore winds and a 4ft west swell, but the short 6-second period means the waves will be weak and disorganized.

The honest truth? There are no standouts in this 16-day window. The only half-decent window is around September 21st and 22nd, when the wind finally cleans up, but the swell is small and periods are short. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home and keep an eye on the sky.

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.
