The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one for Le Poux. The forecast for the next 16 days is a real heartbreaker, mate. There’s a long, dry spell stretching from now all the way through to the middle of the first week of August. We’re talking over a week of hardly a ripple worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the scores are a flat zero. It’s the kind of quiet that makes you check your board for cracks.

Things start to stir late on Friday, August 7th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the W, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds, and the cross-onshore wind is already chopping it up. The combined energy is a decent 94 (weak), but the conditions are still rated poor. By the afternoon it gets bigger – 6 ft from the W with 6 seconds – but with that cross-on wind, it’s just a messy, lumpy line of white water. The wave energy jumps to 191 (moderate), but it’s a real struggle for anything clean.

Saturday, August 8th, is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a miss. The morning shows 6 ft swell from the W, 7-second period, but a strong cross-shore wind from the SSE at 16 mph makes it a lumpy, messy affair. The energy is high at 295 (moderate), but that’s just raw power without any shape. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the S, and it’s a choppy, bumpy zoo. The swell is 5 ft, and the energy is 233 (moderate). Honestly, at this size and with this wind, this wave setup at Le Poux – a beach and reef – is looking more interesting for kitesurfing than paddle surfing. The waves are too fat and bumpy for a fun groove.

The following Sunday, August 9th, still has some size – 4 ft from the W with a 7-second period – but the wind is howling from the NNW at 25 mph, creating a cross-shore mess. The energy is 163 (moderate). The afternoon sees a slight improvement with the wind turning cross-off, but at 25 mph, it’s still a full-on battle. Monday, August 10th, drops back to smaller 2 ft swell with clean cross-off winds, but it’s just too small for any real juice.

Finally, on Tuesday, August 11th, we get a little glimmer. The morning shows 3 ft from the NW with a 5-second period and a light offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. The wind is clean, the conditions are rated as “surfable waves but very ordinary” (score 1 out of 10). The energy is a low 42 (weak). It’s rideable, but barely. The water temperature is running about 5°F warmer than normal at 67°F, which is already notable, but it won’t make up for the lack of proper swell.

Signing off, 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.
