Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a grim outlook for Le Poux this time around. The 16-day window opens on Thursday, July 9th, and honestly, there’s nothing even worth paddling out for. The whole stretch is a flat spell with weak, unridable swells.
The best we can say is that the water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, hitting 65°F, a solid 5°F above average. That’s about the only thing going for it.
The first few days, from Thursday the 9th through Sunday the 12th, are ankle-snappers. We’re looking at 1ft to 0.3ft of swell, with the combined energy barely registering, often under 30. The wind is offshore and clean at times, but with that kind of swell, it’s like polishing a turd. From Monday the 13th, the wind cranks up to a near gale at 31 mph, making it impossible to even think about getting out. We see a brief glassy moment on Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, but with only 0.3ft of swell and 3 units of energy, it’s a lake.
The pattern stays poor through the second week. We get a bit of a bump on Friday, July 24th, with a 5ft to 5ft swell from the west. That sounds like something, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, putting up a messy, choppy surface. The combined energy jumps to 146-171, which is moderate, but it’s a junky, blown-out wall. For a beach-and-reef setup like Le Poux, that’s more of a kite-surfing chop than a surfable wave.
Honestly, this is a blank run. With a break that rarely breaks and is inconsistent, this kind of flat spell is par for the course. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the garage.
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.
