The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the cards for Le Poux over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, this is a pretty grim stretch for the region. The forecast is a long, dry spell with almost nothing worthwhile to paddle out for. The first week and a half is a real write-off, with very little energy and messy conditions. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor surf from now until the 22nd of September, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might be worth a look if you're desperate for a splash.
The only real window of opportunity, and it's a marginal one, creeps in on Friday the 11th of September. In the morning, conditions turn glassy with a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 71, so it's barely pushing. You'd get a few soft, rideable waves, but it's strictly for the longboard or a beater board. Then on Saturday the 12th of September, the morning is looking glassy again with a similar 2ft west swell, though the period drops to 8 seconds and the energy is even weaker at 50. Both mornings are your best bets, but don't expect any sort of quality.
The water temperature is running at 67.3°, which is a notable 4.7° warmer than usual for this time of year. It's a nice touch for the skin, but the lack of swell is the real story here.
For the rest of the period, we've got a mix of cross-onshore and onshore winds, with a few days of strong wind blowing over 18 mph making it lumpy and choppy. The swell never gets above 3.6ft, and the energy levels are mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, which is weak to moderate at best. The swell direction is consistently from the west or west-northwest, which is actually the optimum direction for this exposed break, but the size and wind just aren't cooperating.
The best thing I can say is that the forecast can change, but for now, you're looking at a long, blank run. The only real standouts, if you can call them that, are the glassy Friday and Saturday mornings. That's it.

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.
