The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Normally around here we’d have a few windows to look forward to, but this stretch is a tough one. The entire 16-day forecast is pretty much one long gap with hardly any real quality. The few sessions that show up are either blown out or too weak to get excited about.
Le Petit Minou is the only spot on the radar, but it’s not giving us much. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first week is a write-off. From Thursday the 27th through to the end of August, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the swell is small and short-period. The one morning on Wednesday the 2nd of September could be a bit of a tease – glassy conditions with light winds, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft from the WNW, and the energy is weak (88). Not worth paddling out for.
We get a bit more size from the 3rd to the 5th, but it’s messy. On Friday the 4th of September, there’s a bit of a pulse with 6 ft from the WNW and a longer period of 12 seconds, but the wind is cross-on and the energy is strong (1501). The surf is still marginal and choppy, not clean.
The only real standout in the whole outlook is Friday the 11th of September. The morning offers 8 ft from the west with a 9-second period, clean with a cross-off breeze, and the energy is strong (823). But the afternoon is where it gets interesting – 7 ft from the west, a moderate offshore wind from the NNE, and the energy jumps to very strong (1346). That’s the best session on offer, and it’s labelled as excellent for experienced surfers. The swell direction is a solid match for the optimum SW, and the offshore wind will keep it clean. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
But remember, this is way out – over a week and a half away – so it’s promising but not locked in.
Overall, there’s a lot of waiting and not much to ride. The blank run is real this time.
