The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Le Petit Minou.

The first real window for a paddle kicks off this Saturday morning, the 5th of September. We’ve got some decent size on the table with a 7ft groundswell out of the WNW, and a period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell with a lot of energy behind it (1488). The wind is light and cross-off from the east, which is a fantastic direction for this spot. It’s going to be clean. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. The break itself is a mix of beach and point, and with this swell direction and wind, that point section could offer some longer rides. However, at 7ft, this is getting into the territory where you need to be an experienced surfer – it’s not a beginner's day. There’s a lot of power. The crowd factor? It can get busy here often, so you’ll want to be on your game.

The rest of the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. Saturday afternoon holds some size (6ft) but the wind swings cross-shore, so it’ll get a bit bumpy. Then we hit a bit of a lull. Sunday the 6th and most of the following week are dominated by onshore or cross-onshore winds and a drop in quality. There’s still some swell around, with a couple of days showing 7ft again on Monday the 7th and Wednesday the 9th, but the wind is from the WNW or W, putting a chop on the face. Those days are really only going to be for the keen and the tough; the conditions are marginal or poor.

We do see a brief window on Tuesday the 15th of September, well over a week away. It’s not huge, around 4ft, but it’s a long-period groundswell (14 seconds) with a clean, cross-off wind from the NNW. The energy is moderate (672). The size is a bit more manageable than the first Saturday, but the period is still long, so it’ll have plenty of push. The caveat is that long period swell can sometimes be a bit straight at a beach break, but the point section here should handle it well.

For the final few days, we’re looking at smaller, weaker surf. Friday the 18th of September morning is notable for something rare: a glassy, clean surface with the lightest of winds. The swell is small at 3ft, but if you’ve got a longboard, that morning session could be a real treat.

If I have to pick the standouts, Saturday the 5th morning is the clear winner for size and quality. That’s your best shot at something memorable in this forecast window. Tuesday the 15th is the other one to keep an eye on, but it’s a long way out, so treat that as promising but not locked in. Everything else is either blown out, small, or both.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
