Alright, Rusty here. Let's size it up for the next 16 days at Le Poux.
Truth is, it's a tough run. The swell is tiny and inconsistent for almost the whole stretch, with most days offering less than 2ft of weak, wind-affected surf. There's a long gap of about 10 days starting July 4th where there's just nothing worth paddling for.
The only real moment of hope is Friday morning, July 3rd. You've got a clean 3ft groundswell from the west (10 second interval) with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The combined energy is weak at (130), but the water is much warmer than usual at 64°, which is about 4° above average for this time of year. It's clean enough for a beginner to get a couple, but the "rarely breaks" warning is real. That window closes fast as the wind shifts by the afternoon.
Then it goes dead flat from the 4th to the 13th. We get offshore winds on the 9th and 10th, but the swell is pathetically small at just over 1ft. Not enough to push a board.
The next real uptick is Monday, July 13th, with a 2ft west-northwest swell, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds. That's short, weak, and messy junk with combined energy of only (60).
Your best bet—the one standout of the whole 16 days—is Thursday afternoon, July 16th. A clean 3ft west-northwest swell (9 second period) arrives with a cross-offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy hits (120), which is moderate for the area. It's clean with a light breeze, and this is as good as it gets. But still small, and inconsistent.
For experts, there's nothing over 5ft, so no worries there. For beginners, this small, clean swell is actually your best chance. The optimum swell direction is west-northwest, and that's exactly what we see on the few decent days.
Given how rare any decent surf is here, this kind of quiet run is just normal. It won't stay flat forever, but right now it's a waiting game. For the kite crowd, the onshore wind days with little waves might offer more fun than a surfboard.
Stay patient.
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.
