The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks at Le Petit Minou.
It’s gonna be a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are looking messy with a lumpy, cross-shore wind and weak energy. Not worth paddling out for. But hang tight, because we’ve got a proper window of clean, powerful surf arriving Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That is the standout session of the whole forecast. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell pouring in from the WNW, with a long 13-second period pushing a heap of energy through (1488). The wind is light, cross-offshore from the ENE, which will keep the face super clean. That’s a proper groundswell—good for the point setup here, giving you some nice, shapely walls. The water is sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. Keep in mind, with that size, it’s more for the experienced crew; beginners might find it a bit much.
Now, Saturday afternoon will still have good, rideable waves at 6ft from the WNW (12 sec), though a light cross-shore breeze will put a few ripples on it. Sunday morning the 6th drops right back down—don’t expect much.
The next real highlight is a little further out. Look at Tuesday, the 15th of September. Tuesday morning is another cracker. We’ve got a clean 7ft WNW swell (9 sec) with a gentle offshore breeze from the NE. The wave energy is moderate at 736, and clean offshore conditions will make for some excellent, lined-up waves. That’s a top call for the more experienced surfers again. The following days hold some smaller but still clean, rideable options, especially with offshore winds, but nothing that quite matches the size and punch of that Saturday or Tuesday morning.
So, bottom line: if you can only pick one session, make it Saturday the 5th of September morning. Tuesday morning the 15th is the other quality window, a little less certain being further out, but looking promising.
Rusty.
