The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Le Petit Minou over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it's a slow start. The first recommendation isn't until Wednesday, August 19th, so we're looking at a solid nine-day gap with pretty much nothing worth getting wet for. There's a tiny bit of energy around the 10th and 11th, but with winds that just won't play nice, it's a write-off. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it won't be a shock to the system.

The one real standout in this window is on Wednesday, August 19th. The morning session at Le Petit Minou is where it's at. We've got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE keeping the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate (240), and that offshore wind is the key. It's the only time in the whole forecast where the stars align for a proper paddle. Bear in mind it's a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are often a thing here, so get out there early.

Now, looking further out, there's a huge spike in size on Sunday, August 23rd. The morning shows a massive 10ft swell from the WNW with a combined energy through the roof (1776). That's expert-only territory. The wind is cross-off, which is clean, but this kind of power at a beach and point setup is more likely to be a washing machine than a surfer's paradise. Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Beyond that, the window fades out with a long-period groundswell (16 seconds) on the 25th, but it's only 2ft and the wind is messy, so it's a pass.

So, to sum it up: the only window to circle on the calendar is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or too damn big. Get it while you can.

Rusty.

Information about the Le Petit Minou Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Le Petit Minou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Petit Minou surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Petit Minou) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Le Petit Minou may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
