The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. The outlook for the next 16 days is pretty grim at Le Poux. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The first real chance of anything rideable won't come until Monday, August 4th, and even then, it's a tough sell.
From now right through to Sunday, August 3rd, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, barely making a ripple. We're talking waves from 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and the combined swell energy is weak – barely registering in the double digits for most of that time. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are consistently described as "poor surf conditions." It's just not worth paddling out.
Now, Monday, August 4th sees a slight pulse of energy. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NNE, with the combined energy hitting a moderate 55 to 63. That's at least something to look at. But the wind is ugly – straight onshore from the SW, gusting to 16 mph. The wave comment still reads "poor surf conditions." It’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. For a spot that rarely breaks and is mostly a beginner beach and reef setup, this onshore wind just kills it.
After that little blip, it’s back to the doldrums. From August 5th right through to the 14th, the swell drops back to nothing (0.3 ft to 1 ft) and the combined energy is pathetic, often in the single digits. We get some clean, offshore winds on the 7th and 13th, but with no swell to push, it's like a beautifully waxed board with no waves to ride.
Honestly, there is absolutely no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The only half-baked moment is that Monday morning on August 4th, but with the onshore wind and the break's inconsistency, it’s a hard pass. If you're looking for a paddle, you're better off finding a lake. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year, but that’s small consolation. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, hang your wetsuit up.

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.
