The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at the charts for our local zone. Straight up, it's a tough one. We're lookin' at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf to speak of for the first couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle.

Let's start with the only spot on the cards, Le Poux. This is a beach and reef setup, and it's a consistent problem here: it rarely breaks. The whole forecast is a series of "poor surf conditions" with zero ratings. The water is warm, though – 66.6°F (about 4.3°F warmer than usual for this time of year), so at least a dip won't be chilly.

We kick off on Wednesday the 22nd of July with just a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, but the energy is pathetic – only 7. That's weaker than a flat soda. The next few days are the same story: tiny waves, cross-shore winds, and low energy. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are clean but flat, with energy levels at 6. Forget it.

We get a little spike on the 26th, Sunday morning. The swell bumps up to 3.3ft from the west, but it's a junk wind swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is howling onshore from the WNW at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The energy climbs to 94, but it's all for nothing. That afternoon gets worse: 4.6ft swell but still cross-on wind and a 166 energy reading. It's a mess.

The following week is more of the same: tiny lumps, onshore or cross-shore breezes. The energy stays in the double digits, well below 100. Even the 3.9ft swell on Monday the 3rd of August is wasted by a strong onshore wind and a short period.

Finally, there is a glimmer. On Wednesday the 5th of August, the morning brings a clean, offshore wind from the east at just 3 mph. The swell is only 2.0ft from the west, period 8 seconds, and the energy is a low 59. The data says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – a 1 out of 10. It's not good, but it's the only time the wind is right. For a beginner, it might be a tiny, clean ankle-to-knee-high wave. But for anyone else, it's just a tease.

After that, it's back to junk. The 6th of August has fresh cross-onshore winds at 19 mph and tiny waves. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, the bottom line: there is no standout. The only remotely possible surf is on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, and even then, it's a stretch. For the rest of the 16 days, you're better off doing something else. The forecast can change, but right now, it's a blank run.

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.
