The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Petit Minou over the next couple of weeks. It’s looking like a bit of a mixed bag to be honest, with plenty of days where you’re better off doing something else, but there are a few windows that’ll get the blood pumping.

The main issue early on is the wind. We’ve got a run of several days with cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes messing things up. Sunday the 13th kicks off with a small, clean-ish 5ft swell from the WNW, period around 11 seconds, but the onshore wind makes it messy. The combined wave energy is moderate (634). Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year. Not much to write home about.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are a write-off – the swell drops right off and the wind stays rubbish, so you’re looking at tiny, choppy waves or nothing at all. Wednesday the 16th sees a bit of a lift with a 7ft swell, but again the wind is mostly cross, so the quality is poor. Not worth the paddle.

There’s a real gap from Thursday the 17th right through to Saturday the 19th. Thursday and Friday are poor with stronger winds, and Friday the 18th actually sees a powerful 10ft swell (combined energy of 3273) but it’s too big and onshore – that’s expert-only territory and even then, it’s a mess. Saturday stays poor.

Now, let’s talk about the standout. Monday the 21st of September is the clear winner. The swell is a solid 6ft from the WNW with a long 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (1134 combined energy). The wind is a light offshore from the North, so you’re looking at clean, lined-up waves. It’s a beach and point set-up, so that long period should work well, especially on the point. This is the one to circle on the calendar – it’s excellent for experienced surfers but will still have plenty for strong intermediates if you pick your spot.

Tuesday the 22nd is also worth a mention. We get a 8ft swell from the NW (12-second period, combined energy 1929) with a fresh offshore wind from the NE in the morning. That’s going to be clean and powerful, but at that size it’s firmly in the expert bracket. A solid session for anyone with experience. The morning of Wednesday the 23rd has smaller 4ft surf but with offshore winds, making for a clean, cruisy session.

After that, the swell drops away again. From Thursday the 24th through to the end of the month, we’re down to knee-to-waist high dribble with weak energy, and even with offshore winds it’s just not worth the effort. The last decent pulse is on Monday the 28th of September – a clean 5ft to 6ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period. It’s a nice little option if you’re desperate, but it’s nothing compared to that 21st.

So in short, this forecast is all about that Monday the 21st. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big. Get on it.
