The Lowdown
Well, grab a coffee and pull up a seat, because I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Le Poux are lookin’ lean. Real lean.
The finder tells me there’s no good surf on the cards for the entire 16-day run. Every single report is flagged as “poor surf conditions,” and not one hits the score I’d consider worth paddling out for. We’re talkin’ a blank run from now, right through to the afternoon of September 20th. That’s a long dry spell.
Now, Le Poux is a tricky little beach-and-reef setup. It’s the kind of spot that “rarely breaks” anyway, so a stretch like this, while frustrating, isn’t completely out of the ordinary for the area. The swell direction is a mess – mostly out of the west, which isn’t ideal for a break that likes it from the WNW. And the wind? Mostly cross-onshore or onshore, often strong, with a lot of lumpy, choppy reports. There are a couple of windows where the wind goes light and even cross-offshore (like the morning of September 6th or September 19th), but with swell heights dropping below 2ft and combined energy values in the weak range, there’s just no power to surf.
We do see a spike in wave energy – like on Monday the 9th, with a 5ft swell and energy readings climbing to 200 (moderate energy), but it’s paired with a fresh cross-onshore breeze and a terrible 6-second period. That’s just bumpy, wind-slop. Not worth the fight. For a break that is exposed and inconsistent, the setup would be more interesting for kite surfing during those windy days than for a regular paddle surfer.
The only real takeaway is on the morning of Sunday, September 7th, there’s a hint of something – a 2ft swell with a long 15-second period and an offshore wind. But the energy is still moderate (239) and the crowd profile says “rare” so you might have it to yourself, but it’s still being called “poor surf conditions.” It’s a tease at best. Don’t get your hopes up. That long period groundswell would potentially break too straight for a beach setup anyway.
Stay patient, mate. Forecasts can change, but for now, the boards are staying in the shed.

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.
