Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Le Poux.
To be brutally honest, there isn’t really any surf worth paddling out for over the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with hardly any energy. The first recommendation isn’t until July 5th, and even that is tiny. The swell is just not showing up, and the conditions are mostly rubbish.
The first few days, starting Sunday the 5th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a period around 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (55). The water is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making for messy, choppy conditions. That keeps up through Monday and Tuesday – small, weak, and not worth a second look.
Wednesday morning, July 8th, offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light NNW breeze, but with only 1ft of swell and weak energy (24), it’s essentially flat. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore breeze, but again, there’s just nothing in the water to ride.
The rest of that week and into the next is more of the same. Swell heights barely budge from 1ft to 2ft, with periods often short (8 seconds or less) and total wave energy figures staying low, between 10 and 48. The wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things lumpy and choppy. It looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer at this point, with the stiff onshore breeze and small waves.
The second week, from July 13th onward, is even smaller. The swell drops to 0.6ft to 1ft, and the energy figures fall into the single digits most days. Even when the wind turns clean offshore on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th, there’s barely a ripple to catch. It’s effectively flat.
Le Poux rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is a prime example of a blank run that’s pretty normal for this spot. There’s nothing to recommend. Hang the board up for a couple of weeks, check the charts later, and hope something changes.
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.
