Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window for Le Poux, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly a wave to get excited about. The first real surf recommendation doesn't show up until Wednesday, July 23rd, but even that's a mess.
For the first two weeks, from July 8th through to July 22nd, the swell is tiny – we’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with heights mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The combined wave energy is in the weak range, often just single or low double digits (29, 41, 33, etc.). There’s nothing to ride. The wind is often screaming offshore, which is clean, but with no swell to push against, it’s a total waste. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 65°F, which is a notable 5°F above average. That’s the only interesting thing happening, and it doesn’t help the surf.
Then we get to Wednesday, July 23rd. The swell finally bumps up, but it's a poor trade-off. On Thursday morning, we’re looking at 4 ft from the W with a short period of 6 seconds, and a moderate energy of 112. The wind is onshore from the WSW at 19 mph, making it choppy and messy. Thursday afternoon is slightly bigger at 4 ft from the WSW, but still with a short 6-second period. The wind picks up to 22 mph, and the wave energy is 108. This is not a clean surf day. It’s a beach and reef setup, so with strong onshore wind and short-period swell, the water surface will be a mess. Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing here for a surfer to get excited about. The best advice I can give is to wait for the next forecast.
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.
