The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for Le Petit Minou. The water’s sitting at about 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next few days are looking pretty grim. From Monday afternoon right through to Friday afternoon, we’ve got a mix of poor conditions and marginal surf. Swell is small, mostly around 2ft to 4ft, with short, weak periods and cross or onshore winds. The combined energy is weak (92 to 599 units), and the wind is making a mess of things. Honestly, it’s a write-off.
Things start to turn around on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That’s the standout window. Early morning brings a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, with a solid 13-second period and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is strong at 1159 units. This is going to be excellent surf for experienced surfers—well-shaped, powerful groundswell. The afternoon stays clean with a 6ft WNW swell and a cross-offshore wind, still very good.
After that, we’re back into a bit of a lull. Sunday the 6th is small and marginal, and the following week is mostly poor or marginal with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell. The energy stays low, generally under 400 units, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things choppy.
There’s one more promising window in the long range. On Monday morning, the 14th of September, we get a 7ft swell from the west with a 8-second period, but the wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s rare and makes for a clean, inviting morning. The combined energy is a solid 729 units. This one’s worth noting, but it’s a longer-range call so keep your fingers crossed. By the afternoon, the swell picks up to 8ft but the wind turns cross-onshore, so the morning is the pick.
Tuesday the 15th holds similar size, 8ft from the WNW with a 11-second period, but the wind is onshore, so it’s more for those chasing bigger, rougher waves.
Overall, the best bet is Saturday the 5th of September, hands down. That’s the one to circle.
Rusty.
