The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checking in from the French coast. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way over the next 16 days. Let’s be honest, it’s not going to be firing every day, but there are a couple of windows where it’ll be worth paddling out.
The first real surfable days are a bit of a slow burn. We’re looking at a solid week of small, weak, or messy conditions. The swell energy is low, and the wind just won’t cooperate. You’ll be staring at a lot of cross-chop and onshore junk. The best early call is the morning of Saturday the 12th at Le Petit Minou (beach and point). It’s a small day, only 3 ft from the west, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare treat. The combined energy is weak (244), but for a clean, small wave session, it’s your best bet. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird happening there.
The next real standout doesn’t arrive until the Saturday morning of the 19th. That’s more than a week away, so keep it in the back of your mind. We’ve got a proper pulse of swell coming in from the WNW at 6 ft, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell, and the energy jumps up to 620 (moderate). The wind is off from the NE, so it’ll be clean. This is the session to circle on the calendar. The afternoon of the 19th is still good, with a 5 ft NW swell and clean cross-off wind. It’s a little less tidy, but still a solid day.
Looking further out, the morning of the 23rd of September is a long-range promise. It’s a good 4 ft swell from the WNW with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is light offshore from the NNE. Because it’s so long-period, it’ll love the point break setup at Le Petit Minou, but at a beach break it might be a bit too straight. Still, with clean conditions and 758 combined energy, it’s got real potential. The morning of the 24th also looks clean and glassy, with a smaller 3 ft swell.
The gaps between the good days are real. You’ll have a full week of almost nothing from the 15th to the 18th, and then another few quiet days after the 19th. It’s a typical pattern for this area, so don’t lose hope. Right now, the morning of the 19th is the absolute pick. Lock it in.
Rusty, out.
