Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Poux over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is: the next 16 days at Le Poux are a tough beat. There’s no real standout window, just a lot of tiny, weak swell and strong winds.
It starts on Thursday the 9th with a tiny 1 ft WNW swell, 9 second period. The wind is light offshore in the morning, glassy and clean, but the combined energy is a weak 29. It’s barely there. By afternoon, the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NE, cross-offshore, but it’s still too small.
Friday the 10th is more of the same: 1 ft to 2 ft, also WNW, with a moderate offshore breeze. Energy is still low, 29 to 41. Clean, but marginal.
Saturday the 11th drops to 1 ft, with a fresh offshore breeze at 22 mph. The period is 8 seconds, energy only 22. It’s clean but weak, and that wind makes paddling hard.
Sunday the 12th is a flat day. Swell is 0.7 ft, then 0.3 ft, with a strong offshore breeze up to 28 mph. Energy is 6, then 1. You’re fighting the wind more than the wave.
From Monday the 13th through the end, it’s mostly flat. Swell heights drop to a dash, energy is often zero or single digits. The wind stays strong or onshore, with rain and even thunderstorms by the 22nd and 23rd. The best you’ll see is a tiny 2 ft NNE swell on Tuesday the 14th, but with a 6 second period and a fresh offshore wind, it’s messy and weak.
For a break that rarely breaks, this is a particularly empty run. Le Poux is a beach and reef setup, and with these conditions, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Keep an eye on the forecast, but right now, it’s a pass.
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.
