The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks look like a real mixed bag at Le Petit Minou. The swell stays tiny and weak for the bulk of the period, with most days offering little more than ankle-to-knee-high mush. The water’s sitting around 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you might be able to lose a glove. Honestly, for the next week and a half we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The combined swell energy through much of that run sits below 100 (32) – that’s weak.

We see the first glimmer of something worth mentioning around Saturday 26 July. The swell starts to build, but the wind turns cross-onshore from the west. The waves reach 5 ft with a combined energy climbing into the 200s (240), but that cross-onshore wind messes it up. It’s choppy. Not the clean ride we all want.

The real standout, and the only one I’d get excited about, is Thursday 31 July into Friday 1 August. On the Thursday morning, it’s still messy, with strong offshore wind blowing a solid 25 mph. That makes it clean, but paddling in will be a battle. The swell hits 5 ft with combined energy jumping to 261. However, it’s Friday 1 August early that looks best. We get a 5 ft swell from the west (9-second period), combined energy of 364, and clean cross-offshore winds. It’s going to be a proper size for intermediate surfers – maybe a bit much for beginners since it’s over 5 ft, but not so big it’s expert only. The main catch is that crowds are often here, especially on a decent day like that, so expect company. There’s also a cross-shore wind in the afternoon, so hit it in the morning for the cleanest waves.

Beyond that, the forecast gets uncertain. We have a little bump around 30 July with strong offshore winds, and the swell hits 5 ft on the 30th afternoon with 261 energy. The wind is howling at 25 mph though – strong offshore and clean, but you’ll be working hard to get out back. For the more distant stuff, take it with a pinch of salt, but Friday 1 August looks the pick of the litter.

Rusty.
