The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
We’re looking at a bit of a mixed bag for Le Petit Minou over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a write-off, I’m not gonna lie to you. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is just wrong – pretty much onshore or cross-shore junk. It’s not until the weekend of the 13th that we start to see some proper energy building, but even then, the wind keeps it messy. The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of September. That’s the one. The swell is up to 6 ft from the WNW, which is a solid size for this place, and it’s a long-period groundswell at 14 seconds, carrying a heap of power. The magic is that wind coming from the NNE offshore at 12 mph, cleaning the place right up. It’s going to be clean, lined up, and punchy. This is for experienced surfers only – that size and power with a long period will be a handful on the bank, but the point setup at Le Petit Minou will handle it better than the beach. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The other one that’s got my attention is the morning of Thursday the 24th of September. The swell holds at a solid 5 ft from the WNW, with a 12-second period, very good energy, and we’re looking at a light ESE wind – almost glassy. That’s a very clean, very surfable window for intermediate to advanced surfers. The morning of the 17th of September is worth a mention too, with a clean 5 ft WNW swell and a light offshore NW wind, but it’s not in the same league as the 23rd.
Be aware, the middle of the second week, around the 19th and 20th, gets windy again. The 23rd is the gem. Keep an eye on the forecast, but that’s the one I’m paddling out for.
Rusty.
