Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the comin' waves for our slice of coast. Let's get straight into it.
We’re lookin’ at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, with the first real chance of a surf showin' up Saturday July 4th, but it’s a marginal one. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 65°.
Saturday afternoon brings a 3ft swell from the W, but there’s a cross-off NNW breeze at 16 mph. It’s clean, but the energy’s only moderate, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a messy, ordinary day. The real story is what’s comin' later.
Monday July 6th mornin' is worth a mention. At Le Petit Minou, glassy conditions with a light easterly. We’re talkin’ clean, tiny waves at 3ft from the WNW. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless, but if you’re desperate for a glide, it’s the cleanest paddle of the early week. Energy’s weak.
After that, we slide into a long, quiet run. From Tuesday July 7th right through to the 10th, it’s small and ordinary, with onshore or cross-off winds messin' up what little bump there is. Honestly, not worth gettin' wet for unless you just want to sit on your board.
Now, the standout. Mark your calendar for Tuesday July 14th. The mornin' session at Le Petit Minou is where it’s at. A clean 3ft swell from the WNW, period 10 seconds, with moderate energy. But the magic is the glassy, glassy conditions with barely a breath of air from the SSE. That’s the window. Clean lines, no chop, and a decent little push. It’s the one day in the whole run where everything lines up for a proper session.
After that, we get a bit of a pulse again on July 17th, with a 7ft swell from the W. That’s a lot of water, and the energy is strong, but with a cross-shore breeze at 9 mph and a period of just 8 seconds, it’s gonna be a messy, lumpy beast. That’s expert territory. Not for the faint-hearted.
Then we round out with a final nod to Saturday July 18th. Mornin' out at Le Petit Minou with a 4ft swell from the WNW, offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. It’s clean and surfable, but the energy’s moderate, and it’s just a solid, average day. A good finisher, but not the highlight.
So there you have it. A long wait, a couple of ordinary days, but that Tuesday mornin' on the 14th is your best bet. Be there.
Rusty.
