Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Poux over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Poux over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough watch. This spot rarely breaks at the best of times, and the forecast is a long, dry stretch of tiny, messy waves. The water is sitting at 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 23rd of July. We’ve got a jump in combined swell energy to 217 (moderate), with a choppy 6 ft swell from the west, but it’s cross-onshore and messy. That’s a no-go for a paddle board. The afternoon gets a bit more energy at 328 (moderate), with 7 ft from the west, but again, onshore wind and a short 6 second period will make it a lumpy, blown-out mess. Honestly, with that size and wind, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the forecast into the 27th of July is more of the same – onshore winds, small, weak swells, and poor surf conditions across the board. There are no standout days, no clean windows, and nothing worth getting excited about. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s not a single wave I’d paddle out for.

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.
