The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The first week and a half is pretty flat. Tuesday the 24th through to the end of the month, you're looking at tiny, weak swell with poor surf conditions. A lot of onshore and cross-shore winds, so the surface is going to be choppy and messy. There's a real gap of nothing good here.
Things start to change a bit on the weekend of the 1st of August. Saturday morning the 1st has a weak 4ft swell from the west, but it's blown out by onshore winds. The wind eases a little by the afternoon, but the waves are still only around 4ft and the conditions are questionable. The energy is picking up a bit, with a moderate 287 units of combined swell energy.
Now, Sunday the 2nd is the real standout. Early morning, we get a 5ft west swell at 10 seconds, which is a solid groundswell. The wind is glassy, calm as a lake. The water is about average for this time of year. At Le Poux, this is the best you'll see in the whole window. The combined energy is strong, sitting at 463 units. That swell is a little over 5ft, so it might be pushing it for absolute beginners, but for everyone else, the conditions are excellent. The wind will be clean and the waves will have some shape. The offshore wind direction is a bit tricky for this spot, which prefers a WNW wind, but that glassy morning is a gift. The afternoon gets a little crossed-up, but the morning is the call.
After that, it drops off again. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are back to small, weak, and blown out. The rest of the week stays tiny and poor. The long-range stuff around the 8th is a low-quality 4ft with a fresh onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, which is only worth a mention for the kite crowd, not for paddle surfing.
So, in short, the only real window to get excited about is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. The rest of the 16 days is a bust.

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.
