The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with a mix of onshores and tiny swell. We're looking at a gap of several days at the start with nothing on offer, just a lot of blown-out dribble. But don't go selling your boards just yet. There are a couple of small windows where the ocean might just line up for us, but you're gonna have to pick your moments.

Le Poux is our only spot in the mix for this period, a beach and reef set-up that rarely breaks, so when it does show, it's worth paying attention to. That exposed west-northwest aspect is what we need, but the wind gods haven't been kind.

The first real chance is this Saturday morning, September 5th. We'll see a tiny 2ft west swell rolling in with a decent 9-second period. The air is clear and there's a magical 3 mph northwest breeze that's making it glassy. Now, this isn't going to be a day of barrels, but the energy looks weak at 86, and it's surfable but very ordinary. Still, if you're desperate for a paddle, this is the cleanest the wave will be for a while. Saturday afternoon the wind swings cross-shore and chops it up, so the window is small.

We’ll see a pulse of energy mid-week, but it's a tease. By Monday, September 7th, the swell jumps with a long-period 14-second groundswell from the west. The combined energy reads 221 in the morning. It’s cleaner than the junk we've had, with a light wind, but that onshore component is a killer. The period is long and the sets will be fat and straight-breaking on this beach/reef mix, which isn't ideal. The morning surf is messy, and the afternoon is lumpy. It's got power behind it, but the quality just isn't there to be called good.

A stormy stretch follows, with strong winds and rain killing any chance of surf. That takes us to Friday, September 11th, which is interesting. The swell builds to a solid 6ft from the west, with a strong 435 combined energy reading. The afternoon sees the wind swing to a cross-offshore and the waves clean up, giving us a "marginal" call. But that's a 5ft plus swell, which is not a beginner wave, and this period is short at 8 seconds, so expect some raw, jumbled power. Better suited to the more experienced crew.

The only other real standout is much further out, on Monday, September 14th. The west swell picks up again to a solid 4ft, with a decent 9-second period and a moderate 292 energy reading. The morning wind is a fresh cross-offshore, and the conditions are clean. It's another "marginal" call, but with glassy faces and a bit of push, this could be the most fun you'll have all period. Tuesday, September 15th is a let-down as the wind goes onshore again.

That’s another few days of mush before things finally die off. So, overall, if you want to get wet, the pick of the litter is that early morning glass on the 5th for a longboard, or the cleaner, punchier morning of the 14th for a proper shortboard. But I wouldn't be making any big plans.

Later, 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.
