Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Le Poux.

Look, it’s a bleak stretch. This spot is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and over the next 16 days, we just don’t have the juice. The water temp is 65°F, which is a good bit warmer than normal for this time of year – over 4°F above the average – so you’ll feel that, but it's about the only plus.

Starting Saturday, July 4th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the W, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is weak (127). Wind is cross-on from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’s choppy. Poor surf conditions is all we get. The rest of the first week is worse: swell drops to 2ft or 1ft, with winds mostly cross-on or onshore. No standouts.

We get one barely-there moment on Saturday, July 11th in the morning. Still tiny at 1ft, but the wind goes glassy. The data says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s the only time in the whole period the score even gets a 1. Energy is weak (40). Not a recommendation for a real session, but it's the closest to a wave you’ll see.

From Sunday July 12th right through to Sunday July 19th, the swell stays below 3ft, with most days showing 1ft or 1.0ft. The wind occasionally goes clean (cross-off on the 13th and 15th mornings), but with almost no swell height and short periods of 8-9 seconds, it’s flat. Combined energy readings drop to the low teens and even single digits (as low as 6). Periods drop to 7 seconds. It fades to nothing.

There’s a long gap of several days here with no real recommendations. For a spot like this that rarely breaks, a blank run is normal. It won’t stay this bad forever, but for the next 16 days, there’s nothing to point you toward.

Keep the wax dry, mate.

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.
