Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour now. For Le Poux, the story’s the same – lean pickings over the whole sixteen days. Water temp is about normal for the season, no real anomaly.
The first chance you’ve got is Friday, July 3rd in the morning. You’re looking at a 3ft west swell with a 10-second period, combined energy at 130 (moderate). Wind’s light cross-off from the NE at 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy. Conditions are “surfable but very ordinary” – you might snag a wave or two, but don’t cancel plans. By afternoon, the wind shifts and it’s blown out.
Then you’ve got a long dry spell. From Saturday the 4th through to Tuesday the 14th of July, it’s all poor surf – waves from 1ft to 2ft, onshore or cross-shore breezes, and energy dropping to barely a whisper. There’s a clean offshore morning on Wednesday the 8th, but the swell’s only 1ft, so you’re just sitting on your board.
Wednesday the 15th of July morning offers a tiny 2ft west swell, 10-second period, clean offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, energy at 47 (weak). It’s one-star at best. The real highlight – if you can call it that – comes Thursday the 16th of July afternoon: 3ft west swell with an 8-second period, energy at 109 (moderate), and clean offshore wind from the ENE at 16 mph. Small, short-period, but it’s the cleanest and biggest of the bunch. Still nothing to shout about.
Friday the 17th pushes 4ft west swell, but the period’s a lousy 6 seconds and the wind is cross-on from the SSW at 12 mph, so expect chop and mess. That’s better left to the kite crew. Le Poux rarely breaks, so this kind of quiet stretch is pretty normal. Hang tight, mate – forecasts can shift.

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.
