The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your local stretch, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run ahead. The forecast kicks off on Monday the 7th of September with a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but it’s a mess. We’re looking at a solid two-week block of poor surf conditions, with onshore winds and choppy seas making a proper paddle-out a write-off. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, barely cracking 359 (moderate) on the best days of the first week, and often dipping into two-digit numbers like 42 (weak). The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shock there, but you’ll be fighting a cross-onshore breeze that’s killing any chance of a clean face.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show until Wednesday the 16th of September. On the morning of the 16th, Le Poux – a beach and reef setup – gets a pulse of 7ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the wind is light and offshore from the north, and the combined energy jumps to 407 (moderate). The forecast calls it clean, and it’s the standout of the whole run – a solid, punchy wave that’s big enough for more experienced surfers, but pushing 8ft the next afternoon, so it’s expert-only territory then. The wind stays kind, with a light breeze through Thursday the 17th morning, and the swell is 6ft from the west (9-second period) with a combined energy of 565 (moderate). That’s another good window, but it’s marginal, so the tide will be a factor.
After that, it dries up again. The 18th of September morning drops to 5ft, then the 19th and 20th fade into tiny, choppy junk. The only other potential is way out on Tuesday the 22nd of September, with a morning push of 7ft from the west, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is moderate offshore from the east – that’s a lucky break, and it’s clean, but it’s a long way off, and forecasts could change. For now, the best bet is the 16th and 17th of September. Be early, be ready, and hope the tide lines up.
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.
