Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the comin' waves for our slice of coast. Let's get straight into it.
We’re lookin’ at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, with the first real chance of a surf showin' up Saturday July 4th, but it’s a marginal one. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 65°.
Saturday afternoon brings a 3ft swell from the W, but there’s a cross-off NNW breeze at 16 mph. It’s clean, but the energy’s only moderate, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a messy, ordinary day. The real story is what’s comin' later.
Monday July 6th mornin' is worth a mention. At Le Petit Minou, glassy conditions with a light easterly. We’re talkin’ clean, tiny waves at 3ft from the WNW. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless, but if you’re desperate for a glide, it’s the cleanest paddle of the early week. Energy’s weak.
After that, we slide into a long, quiet run. From Tuesday July 7th right through to the 10th, it’s small and ordinary, with onshore or cross-off winds messin' up what little bump there is. Honestly, not worth gettin' wet for unless you just want to sit on your board.
Now, the standout. Mark your calendar for Tuesday July 14th. The mornin' session at Le Petit Minou is where it’s at. A clean 3ft swell from the WNW, period 10 seconds, with moderate energy. But the magic is the glassy, glassy conditions with barely a breath of air from the SSE. That’s the window. Clean lines, no chop, and a decent little push. It’s the one day in the whole run where everything lines up for a proper session.
After that, we get a bit of a pulse again on July 17th, with a 7ft swell from the W. That’s a lot of water, and the energy is strong, but with a cross-shore breeze at 9 mph and a period of just 8 seconds, it’s gonna be a messy, lumpy beast. That’s expert territory. Not for the faint-hearted.
Then we round out with a final nod to Saturday July 18th. Mornin' out at Le Petit Minou with a 4ft swell from the WNW, offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. It’s clean and surfable, but the energy’s moderate, and it’s just a solid, average day. A good finisher, but not the highlight.
So there you have it. A long wait, a couple of ordinary days, but that Tuesday mornin' on the 14th is your best bet. Be there.
Rusty.

Information about the Le Petit Minou Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Le Petit Minou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Petit Minou 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 Petit Minou) 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 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.
