Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let me level with you about this spot.
Lookin' at the run ahead for Le Poux, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. This is a beach and reef set-up that "rarely breaks," and unfortunately, this 16-day window is a prime example of that. For the next couple of weeks, we're looking at a serious dry spell. There are no good surf options on the table. The combined energy from all swells directed here hits a peak of only 49 (moderate wave energy) on the 16th of July, but even that's attached to tiny surf. The water temperature is about 65°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's no rideable swell.
For the first few days, from the 7th right through to the 19th of July, it's all tiny, weak swell. The height barely nudges 2ft on the 16th, but with a period of just 6 seconds, that's not a wave you wanna drive for. Most days are a complete write-off. There is a stretch of strong offshore winds from the 10th to the 14th of July, which would normally be a dream, but with no swell to work with—shown by combined energy values stuck between 1 and 41—it's just a clean, flat ocean. The biggest stand-out in terms of swell direction is a couple of pulses from the W and WNW, which would be fine if there was any size behind them. The 19th of July afternoon goes glassy, but again, with 1ft of swell, it's a no-go.
Around the 15th, we get a tiny uptick in a messy NNE windswell, but it's onshore and weak. The 16th and 17th see the biggest numbers of the whole period—a whopping 2ft and 2ft—but it's short-period, inconsistent, and the winds are mixed. For an area that's already inconsistent, this is a pretty long, blank run. It's not unusual for a spot that "rarely breaks."
To be brutally honest, with the swell this small, the conditions are poor, and the setup being a beach and reef, this is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than paddling out. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next forecast.
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.
