Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long, dry spell ahead at Le Poux. This isn’t a time to get excited, but I’ll walk you through the whole 16-day window so you know what’s what.

The outlook starts with a real bummer. From Friday 10 July all the way through to Thursday 24 July, the surf is tiny and mostly hopeless. We’re looking at swell heights barely cracking 2 ft, and often just 0.7 ft or less. The wind is offshore for most of that stretch, but with such weak waves, clean faces don’t matter much. The combined wave energy is in the basement for days on end – values like 29, 6, 1, and even 0 – meaning there’s practically no grunt behind the swell. The period is all over the shop, mostly short to average, so don’t expect any push. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F with a 5°F anomaly, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s different.

The first surfable moment, and I use that term loosely, shows up on Friday 17 July morning. A tiny 2 ft swell from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 50 (weak). The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but these are very ordinary conditions. Honestly, it’s a paddle float at best.

Saturday 18 July offers a similar story: 0.7 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, light offshore winds, but the energy is a measly 14. It’s clean, but you’ll be sitting waiting for a long time.

Then we hit a dead zone again until the very end of the outlook. On Saturday 25 July morning, we get a tiny bump: 2 ft from the west, 9-second period, combined energy of 98 (still weak). The wind is onshore from the SW, which will mess it up. By the afternoon, it’s 2 ft from the west, 9-second period, energy of 88, with a light cross-shore breeze. Still poor surf conditions, according to the data.

The bottom line: There is no standout in this 16-day window. The swell is consistently too small, and the energy is almost non-existent. Le Poux is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent offshore winds on some of those days might be more interesting than what I’d call a surfable wave. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the board for a couple of weeks.

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.
