The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Le Poux over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean run. This spot is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and to be honest, the forecast isn't doing it any favours for a while.
We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first week and a bit is mostly a write-off, with poor surf conditions dominating. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a tropical bath, but it doesn't help the waves.
The first real glimmer of hope, and it’s a small one, comes on Saturday, September 5th. Overnight winds go light and clean, giving us a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak (82), so it’s nothing to get excited about, but it’s surfable. The morning looks the pick with a light breeze and clean conditions.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums until Saturday, September 12th. That morning is the standout of the entire outlook. We’ve got a 4ft west-northwest swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the northeast, light and clean. The combined energy is moderate (295), and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." For a spot that rarely breaks, this is the one to circle. The swell direction matches the optimum WNW, and that offshore wind will make it clean. The swell is still in the friendly range, but a little bit of juice in the water. After that, it fades off again.
The 12th of September morning is the only real standout. The rest of the second week offers a few surfable windows, like the 15th of September with a 2ft west swell at a long 12-second period, but it’s backed by a moderate breeze, so it’s ordinary. Nothing else worth rushing out for.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
