The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for Le Poux. This beach and reef setup has very little to offer for a while, and when it does finally show a pulse, it’s nothing to get too worked up about. Hang tight, because the first real chance of a paddle is a long way off.

The run starts quiet. From Friday 11th right through to Monday 22nd September, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at over a week and a half of onshore slop, choppy conditions, and small, weak swell. Lots of days with poor surf conditions and combined swell energy barely cracking triple digits most of the time. The water temp feels about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

Not much to get excited about on the horizon. There’s a small window that shows up on Wednesday 24th September. It’s the only standout across the whole outlook, so let’s break it down. Wednesday morning sees some moderate wave energy (462), with a 4ft swell coming from WNW. That swell has a period of 12 seconds, which is a proper long-period groundswell – it’ll have decent shape and power, but at a beach and reef spot like this, a long period can make it break a bit too straight. Still, the wind is clean: a cross-offshore breeze from the east, so it’ll be tidy. Later that afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, making for glassy, clean conditions. The swell drops a touch to 4ft, but the period holds at 12 seconds, and the combined energy stays strong at 368. The forecast suggests the best chance of actually good waves in that afternoon slot. Crowds are rare here, so you might have it mostly to yourself – worth noting, because this break rarely breaks at all, so when it does, it’s special.

After that, the quality fades again. Thursday 25th has some clean conditions with offshore wind, but the swell drops off fast to under 2ft. Saturday 26th offers a small, clean 3ft wave, but it’s only got a 7-second period – weak and soft.

So, to put it simply: there’s one real highlight – Wednesday 24th September afternoon. The rest of the fortnight is mostly a time to wax your board and wait. The combined energy values only really climb into the moderate range (100–500) on a few days, with most hanging below 100, so the energy is generally weak. If the swell picks up more than 5ft, it might get a bit much for beginners, but here we only see about 4ft at best, so it’s still manageable for most.

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.
