Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for our little corner of the world, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.
Le Poux is a beach and reef setup that *rarely breaks*, and unfortunately, this 16-day window is no exception. We’re staring down a long, dry spell. The water is a notable 66°F at the start, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly, but it won’t help the waves.
The first real chance of even a ripple doesn’t come until Thursday afternoon, July 9th, and even then it’s a struggle. The combined energy is a paltry 29 — barely a whisper. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, so it’s clean, but the height is just pathetic. It’s a beginner-only ankle-snapper at best, but honestly, it’s hard to get excited about.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are a tease. The wind turns offshore, nice and clean, but the swell is still stuck on a starvation diet. We’ve got 1ft to 2ft of swell. The energy climbs to 41 on Friday afternoon, but that’s still weak. It’s small, clean, and frustrating.
By Sunday the 12th, the swell is just gone. The wind is howling at 25 mph, strong offshore, but with a combined energy of 6 or even 1, it’s just flat with a strong breeze. You’d be better off flying a kite than paddling out. This dead zone stretches out for days. The energy is at zero for Monday the 13th and barely registers a pulse for the next week.
We see a few tiny blips after that — a 2ft bump on Thursday the 16th, but it’s a short-period, choppy windswell from the SW with a 4-second period. The wind is onshore and the energy is only 22. It’s a mess. Through the rest of the week and into the next, we get small, inconsistent waves, but the wind is often cross or cross-onshore, killing any chance of quality.
The standout? There is no standout. The best of a bad bunch is Saturday morning, July 18th. You’ll have a 1ft swell from the W with a 6-second period, cross-off winds from the N, and a combined energy of 23. The surf is clean, but it’s a close-out on a beach break. The only real hope is that things change. This is a rare blank run for the area, but forecasts can shift.
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.
