The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf at Le Petit Minou for the next couple weeks. It starts slow, but there are a few real clean windows if you pick your days.
Water temp is about 54°F – spot on average for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The best day of the whole run lands on Saturday, September 5th, in the morning. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW with an 11-second period – proper groundswell energy pushing through. Combined swell energy is moderate at 578. Wind is light from the ENE at 6 mph, coming cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy clean. That’s a huge positive. Just know this spot can get crowded, and with conditions like this, expect company.
Sunday the 6th is small and messy – skip it.
Monday the 7th morning is another good one. Swell is 4ft from the west, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell, which will wrap around the point with nice shape. Combined energy is moderate at 403. Wind is light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, clean again. Just keep in mind, longer period means longer lulls between sets.
Tuesday the 8th morning is iffy – 5ft swell but cross-onshore wind messes up the surface. Not your best call.
Then there’s a gap. Wednesday the 9th gets smashed by 19 mph onshore winds and a 7ft swell – that’s big, lumpy, and really only for experts. Honestly, looks better for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
Friday the 11th morning brings a fun, punchy 6ft swell from the west, short 8-second period, but with a light offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. Clean faces, good push. Combined energy is moderate at 377.
Saturday the 12th morning has a 6ft swell from the WNW, 9-second period, and cross-offshore wind – clean but getting big, so only for the experienced.
The last real highlight is Wednesday the 16th afternoon. Swell is a small 3ft from the WSW, but the period goes to 11 seconds. The wind is dead glassy from the west at 3 mph – as clean as it gets. Combined energy is moderate at 387. Perfect for the point setup with a long-period groundswell.
There’s a long quiet stretch from the 13th to the 15th – small, weak, not worth the effort. But that 16th session finishes strong. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
