The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a total bust. There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day forecast window. The breaks around here are inconsistent at the best of times, so a long stretch of nothing is pretty normal for the area. The swell energy just never gets going.
Right from the start, it's rough. Friday, August 28th, has a weak 4 ft swell from the west, but it's being hammered by 19 mph onshore winds. Energy is a weak 56. You get a little bump of 5 ft from the southwest on Saturday the 29th, but it's accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind that makes a mess of everything. That afternoon the swell jumps to 10 ft (energy 1150), but a 34 mph onshore gale with a short period means it's a total choppy mess, more for the kite crew than surfers. The wind and messy conditions just don't let up.
There's a glassy moment on Sunday, September 6th, but the swell is a miserable 2 ft. The cleanest winds arrive on Thursday, September 10th, with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell has shrunk to a tiny 1 ft with next to no energy.
So there it is. A whole 16-day stretch with nothing to get excited about. It’s a blank run that occasionally happens around here. All we can do is wait for the forecasts to change. This is Rusty, out.

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.
