The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m looking at the next 16 days for Le Petit Minou, and honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating stretch. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell and onshore winds messing things up. The first real surfable day isn’t until Monday the 10th of August, and even then, it’s only just barely rideable. So there’s a big gap of nothing much from the start until then.
The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Let’s talk about the only real standout in this whole period. On the morning of Monday the 10th of August, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s not perfect, but the wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the North at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (151). It’s surfable, but very ordinary conditions. For this spot, given how poor the rest of the run is, that’s your best window. The break is a beach and point setup, so it can handle a bit of swell. The crowds here are often around, so expect company.
On the morning of Sunday the 16th of August, we see a 3ft NW swell with a 6 second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph. This is another option, but it’s also just ordinary. The combined energy is weak (72). It’s another small window.
The rest of the days are filled with poor surf conditions, tiny waves, or strong onshore winds. The swell is just too weak and inconsistent. For a beach and point break like this, it’s a pretty typical blank run when the forecast is this flat.
Honestly, keep your hopes low for this one. Set your alarm for the morning of the 10th or the 16th if you’re desperate, but don’t expect much. This is a waiting game.
