The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for Le Petit Minou for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a quiet spell to start, and then a real beauty of a morning to get excited about. The water temp is sitting right on the seasonal average at 64°F, so nothing weird there.
Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th are write-offs. Wind is on it or cross-onshore, and the energy in the water is just weak to moderate, with the wave comment telling you it's poor. The combined energy is only around 206 to 243 on Thursday, and Friday morning jumps up to 558 but with a strong cross-onshore wind making it choppy. You're not missing anything.
Now, Saturday 5th is your window. This is the standout. A solid 7ft swell from the WNW, but here's the kicker – it's a long period groundswell at 13 seconds, packing some serious grunt. The combined energy is a strong 1308. With a light, cross-offshore breeze, that beach and point setup is going to be clean as a whistle. This is a day for experienced surfers, though, because 7ft with that much period won't be friendly for beginners. If you've got the skills, the morning session on Saturday is the one.
Sunday 6th and Monday 7th are a mixed bag. Sunday drops right off to weak 3ft slop with onshore winds. Monday morning sees a bigger 8ft swell from the W, also long period at 12 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore and the wave comment flags it as marginal. The afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-onshore. For the advanced crew, Monday morning might offer some big, raw power, but it won't be pretty.
Tuesday 8th is another day for experts only, with an 8ft swell, but again, cross-shore wind makes it marginal. The energy is very high at 1067, but it's not clean.
After that, the swell settles down. Wednesday 9th morning is a nice little clean-up with 6ft from the WNW and a light offshore breeze. It's a good, solid option for intermediates. Then we hit a long gap from Thursday 10th right through to Monday 14th where it's mostly small, windy, or just ordinary.
The second week offers a couple of glimmers. Tuesday 15th morning has a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period and light offshore winds. Nice, clean, surfable waves. Then on Wednesday 16th morning, you get flat calm, glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny at only 2ft.
So, to sum it up: the clear winner is Saturday 5th September morning. Get on it. After that, the 9th and the 15th are your next best bets for a clean, fun session.
Rusty.
