The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Le Petit Minou.
Alright, straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell coming in, and the wind is just not playing ball for most of it. The first real chance to get wet that’s worth talking about is right at the start, but it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it window.
Tuesday morning, July 28th is your best bet by a long shot. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, giving it a moderate energy (227). The kicker is the wind – it’s dead calm, glassy. That’s a rare treat. Le Petit Minou is a beach and point setup, and with that glassy surface, it’ll be looking primo. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum, but with conditions that clean, you’ll be getting some nice, lined-up waves. This is the one to circle.
After that, it’s a brutal drop-off. Tuesday afternoon the wind swings and the quality goes straight in the bin. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with onshore and cross-shore winds ruining the shape. There’s a bit of tiny swell on the 5th and 6th of August, but it’s weak and messy, only really for the die-hards on a longboard or a foiler.
There is a glimmer on Friday morning, August 7th. The forecast shows a clean 6ft swell from the WNW with a solid energy (422). The wind is light and from the ENE, keeping it clean. That’s a solid, punchy swell, but it’s pushing up towards the 7ft mark, so it’s getting into intermediate territory. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and less powerful than the numbers suggest, but it’s the only other morning that looks worth a look.
The rest of the run into the second week is just a write-off for surfing. We get a lot of strong wind and big, messy swell that’s too big for the conditions. On the 8th and 9th, we’re looking at 8ft plus with onshore gales, which is just a washing machine. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
So, to sum it up: get out there Tuesday morning, July 28th, for the glassy session. The rest is a waiting game or a good time to sort your gear.
Rusty.
