The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Le Petit Minou. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid run of days where you’d be better off doing something else, with only a glimmer of hope way down the line.
The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than we’d usually see this time of year.
For the whole first week, from now through to next Saturday, the 10th of August, it’s a real bummer. Swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and even when it bumps up a bit to 4ft or 4ft on the 4th, 5th, and 6th, the wind is blowing onshore or cross-shore, and the period is a short 6 or 7 seconds. It’s gonna be choppy, weak, and messy. The wave energy is moderate at best – like 160 (moderate) on the 4th morning and 194 (moderate) on the 5th afternoon – but with that wind and short period, it’s not offering anything for a paddle surfer. Honestly, when it hits 4ft with 16 mph onshore winds on the 4th and 5th, this beach and point setup starts looking more interesting for the kite crew than us.
Then we hit a quiet spell from the 7th through to the 14th. Swell drops right off – 1ft to 2ft – with weak energy readings in the tens or low hundreds, like 31 (weak) on the 7th morning. There’s a few mornings with clean conditions and light winds, but there’s just no swell to work with.
After a long dry spell, we finally get a little something on the 15th of August, a Saturday. That morning, the wind goes glassy – dead calm, from the WSW. It’ll be as clean as a whistle. The swell is still small at 2ft from the W with an 8-second period, and the energy is weak at 44 (weak). It’s not going to blow your mind, but after two weeks of nothing, any clean wave will feel like gold.
So, if you’re desperate for a surf, the standout is that Saturday morning, the 15th of August at Le Petit Minou. It’s a long way out, so don’t hold me to it, but the glassy conditions with a tiny waist-high dribbler from the west is the only window worth keeping an eye on.
Rusty.
