The Lowdown
Alright, let's be straight with you – for a good stretch here, things are looking pretty flat and messy. We’ve got a long run of poor conditions ahead, and honestly, there are no standout sessions. The first real chance of something resembling surfable waves doesn't show up until nearly a week away, on September 19th. Even then, it’s not going to be anything to write home about.
Right now, from the 11th through the 18th, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the water is choppy and lumpy. Le Poux (beach and reef) is rarely breaking as it is, and this period isn't going to change that. You're looking at a solid 8-day gap with zero recommendations.
Things get a tiny bit better from Saturday the 19th. On the morning of the 19th, we get a glassy window with a 2ft west swell, period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is only 86, so it's weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 2ft. Not great, but it's the best we’ve got.
The 20th and 21st see some clean offshore winds from the east, but the swell remains tiny – 2ft to 2ft. The energy is low. It's clean, but small.
The only slight glimmer comes on September 23rd (Wednesday). We see a long-period groundswell from the WNW, with a 14-second period and a swell height of 2ft. The combined energy hits 149, which is moderate, so there’s a bit more push. Winds are moderate offshore from the ENE, keeping it clean. But again, it's only 2ft of swell, so don't expect much. This spot is a beach and reef setup, so that long period might make it a bit too straight at the beach, but with those small waves, it might still offer the weakest shape.
Forget about beginners here – it’s never going over 5ft, but it’s also never good enough for anyone else to get excited about. If you're a kiter, the stronger, choppier days around the 16th and 17th with 4ft to 5ft swell and fresh onshore winds might look more fun than a paddle.
In short, it's a long, lean period. Put the board away and watch the charts.

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.
