The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The surf is basically non-existent for the entire 16-day window. There’s not a single day where the conditions come together to offer anything worth paddling out for. It’s a long, flat run with no real options.
The only spot on the radar is Le Poux, a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks. The water temp is sitting around 67°, which is a fair bit warmer than usual for this time of year, about 5° above average – that’s pretty notable.
We start off on Saturday, September 5th with a bit of swell, around 3ft from the west, but the wind is a cross-on at 6 mph, and the whole thing is just messy. It’s rated as poor surf, and the energy is moderate at best, around 217. The swell drops off fast, down to 2ft by Sunday, and the wind switches to a light cross-off, but there’s just no push behind it.
There’s a little pulse of energy mid-week, around Monday, September 7th, with a 2ft to 4ft groundswell from the west, with a period hitting 14 seconds. The energy jumps up to 582 by the afternoon, which is solid, but the wind is howling from the west at 16 mph, cross-on and choppy. It’s messy, blown out, and the wave quality is poor.
The pattern continues like this all the way through to the end of the second week. The swell gets smaller, the wind stays onshore or cross, and the energy drops off into the low teens and twenties. Even on the 13th and 14th, when the wind goes clean offshore from the ENE at 19-22 mph, the swell is barely 1ft to 2ft. There’s nothing to ride.
It’s a blank run. The forecast shows no surfable options for the full 16 days. For a spot that rarely breaks anyway, this is about par for the course. The ocean just isn’t cooperating.
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.
