Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Poux.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a quiet run ahead. We’ve got a 16-day window here, and for the first week and a half, there's pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the conditions are messy, and this break rarely breaks anyway, so it's not a huge shock. From the start of July right through until Tuesday the 14th, it’s all poor surf conditions – small waves, mostly cross-onshore breezes, and very low energy. The water temp is sitting at 65°F with a 4°F anomaly, so it's much warmer than normal for this time of year at Le Poux.
Things start to look a little more interesting from Tuesday afternoon on the 14th of July. We finally get a clean window with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, and a small 1ft swell out of the WNW with a 10-second period. The energy is still low (43), but for the first time you’ve got surfable waves – though very ordinary conditions. It’s the best we’ve seen yet, but that’s not saying much.
Then, as we head into the second week, on Friday the 17th of July, there’s a pulse of energy. Swell picks up to 4ft to 5ft from the WSW, but the period drops to a short 6 to 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s likely a messy, bumpy affair. The combined energy climbs to 168, which is moderate wave energy, but with the poor wind alignment and short period, it's not going to be quality surf.
After that, things drop back down. The weekend of the 18th and 19th brings smaller swell again and mostly clean conditions with offshore or cross-offshore winds, but the waves are small – 2ft to 3ft – and the break’s inconsistency is a factor.
All in all, if you’re keen to get wet, the best shot is the morning of Tuesday the 14th of July, when it’s small but clean, or possibly the 17th if you don’t mind some chop and are happy to hunt for a wave. But honestly, this spot is a tough one. It’s not the kind of place that delivers often.
That’s the story from here. 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.
