The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here.
Let's be straight with you. Looking at the 16-day window for Le Poux, this is a tough stretch. The forecast is filled with poor surf conditions, and the only beacon of light comes right at the tail end. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for, so don't get your hopes up too early.
Right from the start on Tuesday the 25th of August, it’s a dud. Tiny waves and poor conditions. That carries right through the week. We see some energy building by the weekend, but it’s all blown out. On Saturday the 29th, the swell hits 7 ft from the WSW, but with a nasty onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine. The combined wave energy gets up to (325), but it's all chop. This trend of onshore wind and messy surf continues day after day.
There’s a real gap of poor surf until we get to Monday the 7th of September. Finally, we get a glimmer. Monday afternoon, the wind swings NNE at 22 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the west with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is significant at (513). The report calls it a marginal surf forecast, but with a clean wind fetching down the face, it’s the only window that looks more interesting. That’s your one standout, but you’ll want to be an expert for this one – 7 ft can push the limits.
Then it’s back to choppy, onshore crap for the rest of the forecast. A long, dry spell with a flash of hope right at the end.
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.
