The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our little corner of the coast.

First up, Le Petit Minou – a beach and point setup that's fairly consistent and exposed to the SW. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.

Honestly, the first week and a half is a tough slog. From Wednesday morning the 29th right through to the 10th of August, it's pretty much a write-off. There's tiny swell pootling in around 3 feet from the west-northwest, but the wind is all wrong – it's cross-onshore or just messy, creating poor surf conditions with weak energy. The combined energy is all in the low to mid double digits for the most part, which tells you there's just no punch.

We get a little glimmer on Friday morning the 31st of July. Swell is still only 3 feet from the NW at 8 seconds, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore, giving us clean conditions. It's surfable, but very ordinary. That theme carries on into the start of August: tiny 2-foot swell and clean conditions under offshore breezes, but the energy never gets above 64 – it's a marginal call for a log at best. There's a couple of days around the 6th to 9th that have strong offshore winds and a bit of swell energy, but the swell period is so short (4 to 6 seconds) and the size is tiny, making it a tough paddle for little reward.

Right, the standout. Finally, some light at the end of the tunnel. Wednesday morning the 12th of August. That's the one. We've got a solid 7-foot swell rolling in from the WSW with a moderate 8-second period. The energy jumps up to 520 – that's a proper kick in the pants. Wind is light offshore from the northeast and it's clean. This is going to be very, very good. The sets will have some power, and with that direction, Le Petit Minou should line up nicely. Now, that size is getting up there; it's not for beginners – you'll want your wits about you. But for an intermediate or above, this is the pick of the entire forecast.

Then into Thursday the 13th of August, we see a big groundswell pulse predicted – 10 feet from the west with a very long 13-second period. The energy reads at a whopping 4309 – that's massive. However, the forecast here is for the swell to be simply too big for this break. It'll be a washing machine and potentially dangerous. If it cleans up, that sort of power demands an expert eye and a lot of respect.

Overall, the first week is a dud. Bide your time. The real show is the 12th of August – get on it.

Rusty.
