The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Look, I’ll be blunt: there is no surf to speak of at Le Poux for the next sixteen days. The whole thing is a bust.
The closest thing to a wave comes on Saturday, August 30th morning, with a 1.4m swell from the W, period 9 seconds (energy 541), but it's cross-onshore and choppy. For a break that rarely breaks, that's not gonna cut it.
From now until around September 10th, it’s a total and complete gap of nothing. The wind is almost always onshore, mostly from the W or SW. Saturday, September 6th morning has a clean, cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 0.5m. You’d be waiting all day for a ripple.
After that, it's tiny, weak, and crossed-up until the end of the forecast. Don’t bother.

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.
