The Lowdown

Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Le Petit Minou. It’s a beach and point set-up, exposed to the swell, and it’s got a fairly consistent track record. But the next few days are a write-off, I’m sad to say. We’re looking at a rough, choppy mess with strong onshore and cross-onshore winds and poor surf right through Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, and Friday the 4th. That’s three days of no-go.

Then we get a flicker of hope. Saturday the 5th is the standout by a country mile. The morning sees a clean 6 ft swell from the WNW with a long 12-second period, pushing a strong combined energy (943). Winds are light and cross-offshore from the ENE, so the waves will be clean and tidy. The afternoon holds up well too, with 6 ft from the same direction. This is the best on offer – a proper little window of quality. Water temp is a pretty normal 64°, so no drama there. Watch for crowds though, they’re often here.

Sunday the 6th drops right off – small, weak, and ordinary. Monday the 7th brings back a punchier 6 ft swell from the W with a long 13-second period (energy at 1012), but the wind is cross-shore and it’s only rated marginal. Tuesday the 8th is a write-off again with rain and onshore junk.

Another flicker comes on Wednesday the 9th with a clean 7 ft swell from the W, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-offshore. That’s a lot of breeze for a point break – it’ll be clean but blown out in the gusts. Still, worth a look if you’ve got a big board and low expectations.

From Thursday the 10th through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s a long flat spell of poor to ordinary conditions. Small, weak swells and messy winds. Nothing to write home about.

Then the real hidden gem shows up much later. On Sunday the 13th, we get a clean 6 ft from the WNW with a gentle offshore from the NNE in the morning. That’s a solid, clean option if you can wait. And then Monday the 14th has a 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period and barely a breath of wind – silky smooth. That’s your second standout: clean, good energy (450), and offshores.

After that, the second week fades into tiny dribbles until Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, where we see some long-period groundswell (13 and 11 seconds) but small heights – only 2 ft to 4 ft. Clean with offshores though, so if you’re desperate for a glassy session, you could squeeze something out of it.

Bottom line: Saturday the 5th is the absolute pick of the bunch. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are your long-range promises – look good but keep an eye on the wind. For beginners, stay away when it’s over 5 ft – that’s most of the decent days. The point break setup will handle the longer-period groundswell well, so no worries there. For now, get ready for Saturday.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Petit Minou 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.
