Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Petit Minou over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on offer for Le Petit Minou.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf. The water is a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is pretty wild for the area.
The first chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 11th of July. It’s not much to write home about, with a weak 3ft swell from the WNW and a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 140, so it’s weak. The saving grace is a clean, offshore breeze from the NE at 12 mph, so the surface will be glassy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’ll be scratching for waves.
After that, it’s grim. From Saturday afternoon right through to the end of the forecast, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell drops off to nothing, often below 2ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy and lumpy. There’s a brief blip on the 22nd of July, a Wednesday, where the swell bumps up to 3-4ft from the WNW, but the wind is a messy cross-shore to cross-onshore at 16 mph, ruining any chance of quality. The energy hits 260 in the afternoon, but it’s all for nothing with that chop.
There is honestly no standout session in this 16-day window. The small window of opportunity on Saturday morning, the 11th, is the best you’ll get, but it’s a tough sell. The rest of the month looks like a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer right now.
Rusty.
