The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Le Poux region over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak run for the next fortnight. We're looking at a long stretch with next to nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is on offer from the 6th of September, but it's a rough go. The water is sitting at 67°F, which is much warmer than we'd normally expect for this time of year by a touch over 5°F.
The main event is Le Poux (France–Atlantic), but it's a tough one. It's a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and looking at the forecast, I can see why. The biggest bump in swell comes right at the end of the window, on Monday the 21st of September, with a 7ft swell from the WSW. But with a pitiful 6-second period, that's pure windswell, and the combined swell energy is only moderate at 320. On that Monday afternoon, the wind is onshore, so it won't be clean. It’s a big, messy wall of water – maybe interesting for the kite crew, but not for a paddle surfer. The same day in the morning brings a 5ft swell from the WSW.
Most other days are a write-off. The wave comment on every single record is "poor surf conditions", and that tells you everything. Through the middle of the month, from the 7th to the 20th, we see consistent onshore and cross-onshore winds with moderate to fresh breezes, and the swell is tiny and weak – often with combined energy well under 100. There is a period on Sunday the 13th where we get a slight offshore breeze with a 3ft swell, but with only 8 seconds and a combined energy of just 104, there's just not enough grunt to work with at a spot that rarely breaks anyway. For an inconsistent spot like Le Poux, it would need everything to line up perfectly, and it just isn't happening.
Forget about any standout sessions. There's simply nothing to recommend if you're looking for a quality wave. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy.
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.
