The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a little window of opportunity. Tuesday morning, July 28th, is the standout. Le Petit Minou is glassy, with a clean 4 ft swell from the WNW, period at 10 seconds. The water is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (226), and with zero wind, it’s going to be smooth. That’s the one to aim for.
After that, things go quiet. The afternoon of the 28th turns cross-shore, and from Wednesday the 29th right through to the end of the first week of August, it’s a real struggle. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with the swell dropping to tiny 2 ft to 3 ft and the energy readings falling off a cliff. It’s poor, and you’d be fighting for scraps. There’s a couple of clean-looking cross-offshore moments on the 31st and 1st of August, but the swell is tiny, only 2 ft to 2 ft. Not worth suiting up for.
The second week looks a bit more promising for size, but the wind is a problem. From the 4th of August, the swell picks up to 5 ft from the WSW, with moderate energy (284), but it’s blown out by onshore winds. The 10th of August shows a bigger 7 ft swell from the W with strong energy (646), but again, it’s cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. The 11th of August morning has a 3 ft swell with onshore wind, which is a marginal call at best.
Honestly, aside from that Tuesday morning glass-off, the 16-day window is a desert. The consistency is there, but the quality is not. If you can get out on the 28th, do it. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
