The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking out at the local scene for the next couple of weeks. The window kicks off Sunday, but honestly, it’s a slow and grumpy start.
The most consistent action, and the standout by a long shot, points toward a couple of days that are really worth getting excited about. We’re looking at Le Petit Minou, a beach and point set-up, and the best window sits on the 21st of September. That Monday morning, we’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period stretching to 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s going to wrap nicely into the point. The wind is offshore from the ENE and light, so you’re looking at clean, groomed faces. The combined energy hits 1382, which is a solid moderate-to-strong push. This one is sizeable enough that it’s for the experienced crew; beginners should give it a miss.
Running up to that, the weekend of the 20th is a close second. Sunday morning has a bit more size at 8ft from the WNW, and a very long 14-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE keeping it clean. The energy is strong at 2392. It’s powerful, and with that kind of period on a beach-and-point break, keep an eye on the rip – it’ll be moving.
Right now, water temps are about average for the time of year, nothing too wild. It’s all about that clean morning window on the 21st for me. That Monday morning is *the* call in this whole stretch.
Everything after that drops away fast. By the 23rd we’re back to smaller, cleaner waist-high waves, and it pretty much fizzles out to flat, weak energy by the 27th and 28th. A good run, but a short one. The 21st is the day.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
