The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got tiny swell and ordinary conditions kicking off Friday the 7th, and while Saturday the 8th shows a small 2ft NW swell at 11 seconds, the morning is clean but the afternoon gets chopped up by cross-shore wind. The energy is weak (62). Sunday the 9th morning is the first real glimmer – glassy conditions with a light NE breeze and 2ft NW swell. It’s surfable but nothing to get worked up about.

The real pick of the first week is Thursday the 13th morning at Le Petit Minou. We’ve got a clean 3ft west swell running at 10 seconds, with light north winds keeping it cross-offshore. The combined energy bumps up to a moderate 233, and for the first time the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the standout session – not big, but clean and workable for an intermediate. If you can sneak out then, do it.

After that, the middle of the week gets messy with stronger cross-shore winds and building but jumbled swell. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th mornings offer clean 3ft waves, but the energy is weak and the quality is only ordinary.

Now, looking further ahead into the second week, there’s a bit of a pulse coming. Monday the 17th sees a jump in size – 6ft west swell, but with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate north winds. The energy is strong (277), but the conditions are only marginal. Not a clean, lined-up wave.

The best of the longer-range looks like Thursday the 20th afternoon. A clean 5ft west-northwest swell at 11 seconds, cross-offshore northwest winds, and strong energy at 558. That’s a legit groundswell with some push and shape. It’s promising, but we’re talking nearly two weeks out, so treat it as a heads-up rather than a lock.

For beginners, the swell stays mostly under 5ft through the whole period, so it’s manageable. Nothing here is too big or too gnarly.

Signing off – Rusty.

Information about the Le Petit Minou Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Le Petit Minou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Petit Minou surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Petit Minou) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Le Petit Minou may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
