The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and let’s dig into what’s on the menu at Le Petit Minou. I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day run is mostly a tough slog. The first week is a whole lot of nothing, with only a couple of moments that are worth mentioning. The real potential is hanging out at the start of August, but it’s a gamble.

We kick off Wednesday, 22nd of July, with tiny, limp waves – 1 ft from the WNW, with a period around 10 seconds. The energy is pitiful (32). Thursday and Friday are more of the same, with flat-looking 1.0 ft to 1 ft surf. Saturday the 25th gets even worse, dipping to 0.7 ft. It’s a brutal, flat spell.

Sunday the 26th brings a pulse in size, but not quality. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of (197), but that short 7-second period and a cross-shore wind makes it a messy, choppy mess. Not a day you’d paddle out for.

Now, circle Monday the 27th of July. That’s our first real standout. We’ve got a clean 5 ft of WNW swell, period stretching to a nice 9 seconds, and solid energy at (313). The kicker? Glassy conditions in the morning with a light NE breeze – which is offshore for this spot. The water is 64°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s on the smaller side, but for a Monday with light crowds likely, this is your best bet for a clean, uncrowded session.

Tuesday the 28th drops back to 3 ft, and the rest of the week sits in the mediocre 2 ft to 4 ft range, with cross-offshore winds that are okay but not special.

Then we hit Saturday the 1st of August. This is the big one on paper. The combined swell energy hits a massive (1037) – serious power – with a 8 ft swell from the west, period a decent 10 seconds. But here’s the catch: the wind is onshore and fresh from the SW at 9 mph in the morning, picking up to 16 mph in the afternoon. For a beach and point setup, that onshore wind is going to trash the shape. Sunday the 2nd cleans up a bit with 4 ft and a cross-offshore breeze, but the damage is done. For the bigger swells here, the setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the wind and the size.

After that, the final run from Monday the 3rd onward fades into tiny, weak surf again, with 0.7 ft to 3 ft showing up.

So, bottom line: the only true standout is Monday morning, the 27th of July, with glassy, clean 5 ft waves. The potential for a larger swell on the 1st of August is there, but the wind is a dealbreaker. If you’re a beginner, the 1st of August is way too big with that 8 ft swell. Keep an eye on that glassy Monday – that’s your window.

Stay frothy,
Rusty
