The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down the waves for the next couple of weeks at Le Petit Minou.
The first half of the outlook is quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy waves that aren’t worth the effort. It’s a real slow start, so don’t expect to get wet for a while.
The first real chance comes on Thursday 22 August in the morning. The swell is a tiny 0.6m from the WNW, with a light cross-off breeze making it clean. It’s surfable but nothing special. The energy is weak (133).
Friday 23 August morning edges up to 1.3m from the SW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are just okay. The energy is moderate (190).
Now, the one to circle on the calendar is Monday 24 August morning. That’s the real prize. We’re looking at glassy conditions, dead calm, which is gold. The swell is a solid 1.7m from the WNW, with a 10-second period – a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (654), so there’s plenty of push. This is the best wave of the run. The water is 19°C, which is average for the season. The afternoon still has the same size, but the wind goes cross-shore, so get out early.
So, a long wait for a good one, but that Monday morning session is the standout. A bit of a gamble with the long-range forecast, but it’s shaping up nicely.
Rusty.
