The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Le Poux. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a window worth paddling out for. The wave energy is mostly weak, sitting below 100 (e.g., 36, 42, 17), and the wind is nearly always messy. It’s a rare-breaks spot anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area.

Let’s start from Tuesday, 28 July. The swell is tiny – 2 ft from the west with a short 6-second period. The wind is cross-on at 6 mph, and there’s only 36 combined energy. It’s poor. The next few days are more of the same: Wednesday 29 July has 1.0 ft to 1 ft, onshore or cross-on, with barely 17 to 26 energy. Thursday 30 July is a bit more energy (55) but still 2 ft and cross-on. Friday 31 July is 2 ft, cross-on, 23 to 39 energy. Not a single session worth chasing.

Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August see a shift to cross-off winds, and the conditions turn clean, but the swell drops even further – 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with energy just 14 to 21. You’d be floating out there. Monday 3 August has gentle offshore winds and clean conditions, but again, only 1.0 ft of west swell at 8-9 seconds, with 12 to 15 energy. No push.

The first real pulse of energy shows up Thursday 6 August: 4 ft to 5 ft from the WSW, but it’s a short-period 5 to 6 seconds, and the wind is fresh offshore at 19 to 22 mph. The combined energy hits 90 to 176. That’s moderate energy, but the swell is so short-period it’s just bumpy lines. The conditions are clean, but the quality is still poor. Friday 7 August is the closest to surfable – 4 ft west swell at 8 seconds, offshore wind, 133 energy, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a 1 out of 10, so don’t get excited.

Then Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August bring a bigger pulse: 5 ft to 6 ft from the west, with 304 to 403 combined energy – strong wave energy. But the wind is onshore or cross-on at 16 to 22 mph, and the period is only 7 to 9 seconds. It’s choppy and blown out. That kind of size and poor wind on a beach-and-reef setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

After that, the energy drops right off again. The last few days from 10 August to 12 August are back to 1 ft to 3 ft, weak wind, and poor conditions. The best of the whole 16 days is arguably Friday 7 August – 4 ft west swell, offshore wind, clean, and 133 energy. But it’s still very ordinary. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, store the board.

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.

Le Poux is 21 km (13 miles) from Octeville. If you plan a holiday in Normandy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Octeville. Octeville has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
