The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this spot.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. Le Poux is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and true to form, it’s barely showing any life. The whole run is a bust. The water is sitting at 66° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s out of the ordinary.

The first week is a total write-off. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of the month, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, never getting above 2 ft, and mostly stuck at 0.7 ft out of the west. The combined energy is weak – hitting only 10 (weak energy) at best on the morning of the 15th, but then it just fades away into single digits. There’s no power, no push.

The wind is often offshore or clean, like on the morning of the 24th of July when it turns glassy, but with only 0.7 ft of swell and a period of 8 seconds, it’s just not enough to do anything. You’d be floating out there.

Even the later days, like the 25th of July, see a slight bump to 2 ft with a 6-second period from the west, but the combined energy is only 24 (still weak), and the wind is cross-shore. The 26th of July morning bumps to 2 ft and 30 energy, but it’s onshore. Not surfable.

The second week doesn’t save us. The 27th of July has a 1 ft northwest swell with a super short period of 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop. The energy is only 12. It’s a complete washout.

This is a typical blank run for Le Poux. It rarely breaks, and this forecast is a perfect example of that. If you’re looking for paddle surfing, this isn’t the place. The setup with the onshore wind and tiny swell actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a surfboard.

Stay patient, and check back in a few days. Forecasts can change.

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.
