Alright, let’s break it down.
Le Petit Minou is a beach and point set-up that breaks fairly consistently, so we’re never totally out of the game. The best shot we’ve got is around Friday the 10th of July, first light. That morning we’ve got a clean 1.3m swell from the WNW with moderate energy – about 249 units. Wind is a cross-offshore from the north at 15 km/h, so the surface should be smooth. That’s the standout session across this whole forecast.
The early part of the week is small and ordinary. Monday the 6th morning brings a glassy 0.9m from the WNW, but it’s only an 8-second period, so it’s weak and a bit gutless. The energy is just 107 – not much to work with. The rest of the week stays under 1m, with onshore and cross-off breezes making it messy. Not really worth the effort.
Wednesday the 8th morning cleans up with a light offshore breeze from the ENE and a 0.8m WNW swell, but still too small to get excited about.
Then comes Friday the 10th morning. That’s the one. Swell hits 1.3m from the WNW, period stays at 9 seconds, and the wave energy jumps to 249 – a noticeable step up. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the north, so conditions should be clean and lined up. For intermediate-level surfing, this is your window.
Saturday the 11th drops back to 0.9m with cross-shore winds in the afternoon – nothing special.
The last week of the outlook is quiet. Swells stay tiny, mostly under 0.5m or very weak, and winds turn onshore or cross-onshore. On the 19th and 20th of July, the size climbs to 1.4m and even 2.0m, but it comes with choppy cross-onshore winds. That 1.7m morning on the 20th has an onshore wind from the SW, so it’s blown out. Given the beach and point setup and that wind, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temperature is about normal for this time of year – nothing off the charts.
So to sum it up: Friday the 10th of July morning at Le Petit Minou is your best bet. The rest is small, messy, or just not worth the paddle.
