The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s look at the long-range for Le Petit Minou. It’s a bit of a slow start, so don't get too fired up if the first couple days are weak. We’ve got a few windows of good surf and a couple of proper standouts, so let’s get into it.

Monday the 14th is a washout. There’s a little 3ft west swell but the wind is onshore from the southwest, making a mess of things. The water is about 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild. Tuesday’s not much better, but Tuesday afternoon shows a pulse – that WNW swell bumps to about 5ft and the energy gets moving to a moderate 502. It’s not perfect, but there's a hint of life.

Wednesday the 16th is where it picks up. Swell is pushing 7ft with that WNW direction, and the energy jumps into the four-digit range – 1112 in the morning, 1294 in the afternoon. The wind is cross-offshore and the surf is clean. That’s a solid session for the intermediates. Thursday looks messy with onshore winds and a drop in quality, so I’d skip that day.

Now, here’s the big one. Friday the 18th. That WNW groundswell has ramped up to a solid 10ft with a very long 14-second period. The wave energy is absolutely cranking at 2880. The wind is light and cross-on, but the forecast says it may be too big for this break. For the experienced crew, this is the time to charge. It’s going to be powerful and critical, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. Beginners, stay on the beach.

Saturday settles down a bit, but the wind goes cross-on and it’s not as clean. But then, Sunday the 20th morning is a sneaky little gem. The swell has backed off to around 5ft, but the wind is completely glassy – no wind at all. The energy is moderate at 502 and the call is “very good surf conditions.” This could be a clean, fun session on the points before the sea breeze picks up.

Monday the 21st is another highlight. The swell is a solid 6ft with a long 13-second period, and we’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze. Energy is up at 1084 and the call is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is a quality day. The morning is the pick, but the afternoon at 5ft+ is still very good.

The middle of the week drops off with smaller surf and ordinary conditions. There’s a little pulse on Thursday the 24th afternoon with a 3ft swell but a very long 17-second period, which brings the energy up to 616. That’s a nice bit of groundswell, but for a break like this, that long period might make it a bit walled-up. Still, it’s clean.

The following week is all about smaller, cleaner days. Friday the 25th looks fun with a clean 4-5ft and lighter winds. The weekend of the 26th and 27th has good offshore winds but the swell is modest, with shorter periods, so it’s not going to blow anyone away. Then, the final highlight arrives on Tuesday the 29th. The swell is back up to around 5-6ft from the WNW with a solid 12-second period, the wind is offshore and light, and the energy is at a strong 846. The call is “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s a promising way to finish.

So, the top two are Friday the 18th for the big, powerful groundswell – that’s only for the experts – and Monday the 21st for that clean, long-period swell with great winds. The Sunday morning glass-off is another sneaky pick if you want the place to yourself. As for that Tuesday the 29th, it looks promising, but it’s over a week out, so I wouldn’t set my alarm just yet.

The energy levels are mostly moderate through the run, but that Friday spike is where the all the power is. Keep an eye on the tides for the standouts. This break is fairly consistent, so even when it’s flat, it doesn’t tend to stay poor for long.

Keep it salty.

A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
