The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The first few days are a bit of a struggle. On Monday, the 27th of July, you’ve got waves around 6ft from the west-northwest, but the wind is a messy cross-shore, and the water’s got a bit of a chop. The combined energy is moderate at 565, but it’s not clean. That afternoon gets worse.
Tuesday, the 28th of July, is the one to circle. The morning is glassy at Le Petit Minou, with a light offshore wind from the east-northeast. The swell is a bit smaller at 4ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 10 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate at 227. It’s a fairly consistent spot, and with that glassy surface, the waves will be clean and lined up. This is the standout for the whole run. Water temperature is about 66°, which is normal for the time of year.
From Wednesday, the 29th of July, through to Saturday, the 8th of August, there’s a long stretch of poor surf. The swell drops below 3ft most days, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. You’ve got a gap of about ten days with nothing worth paddling for.
Around the 8th of August, the swell picks up to 6ft to 6ft from the west-northwest, with moderate energy readings in the 500 to 680 range. But the wind is cross-on or cross-shore, so it’ll be choppy and lumpy. The period is short, around 8 to 9 seconds, so it won’t be that classic, long-period groundswell. This is more of a setup for kiteboarding than a clean paddle surf.
There’s a chance on Sunday, the 9th of August, with light cross-on winds, but it’s still a marginal call.
So, Tuesday, the 28th of July, morning is your best bet. Glassy, clean, and a decent little groundswell. After that, you’re waiting for a bigger but messier pulse in the second week. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a one-session kind of fortnight.
