The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at Le Petit Minou for the next couple of weeks. It’s a beach and point break that likes swell from the SW, but honestly, it’s mostly a bust for paddle surfing. We’ve got a long quiet run to get through before anything worth a second look appears.
The first ten or so days are tiny. Swell is stuck around 1ft to 1ft from the west, with combined energy in the low double digits – between 12 and 46. That’s nothing. The wind does cooperate at times, like Tuesday morning with a 5 km/h easterly making it glassy, and Sunday the 19th with calm air and 1ft from the NW. But it’s just too small. You’re looking at a big gap with no real surf.
Wednesday the 22nd is the first tiny step up. We get 2ft from the WNW Wednesday morning, energy climbing to 65, and then the afternoon goes glassy with a 5 km/h NNE breeze and energy at 74. It’s still small, but that afternoon is the cleanest window of the first week. Grab a longboard.
Thursday the 23rd is blown out with strong onshore wind.
Then the second week brings bigger swell but a ton of wind. Friday the 24th sees 6ft from the SW, but it’s onshore at 25 km/h, energy at 393. That’s moderate energy, but the wind trashes it. Saturday the 25th is similar, with 6ft onshore from the WSW, though the afternoon lightens up to a 10 km/h cross-onshore from the south on 4ft from the WNW. Still poor.
The only real standout is Wednesday the 29th. That morning brings 6ft from the west with a 10-second period, and energy jumps to 529 – that’s moderate to strong. The wind is a light onshore from the SW at 5 km/h. It’s only a marginal forecast, but out of the whole 16 days, that’s the one session that might actually have some proper waves. The longer period gives it punch, but at a beach break it might be a bit fast and straight. The point could work better. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the trip yet, but it’s the only real hope.
Rusty.
