Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Le Petit Minou (France) has in store for us. It's a beach and point setup, exposed to the SW, so it's got some potential when the stars align.
Right now, things are looking a bit average to start. The first proper swell hits on Thursday afternoon, the 2nd of July, but it's pretty messy. We've got a 5ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is howling from the NW at 12 mph, putting a nasty cross-chop on it. The combined energy is moderate at 403, but the water is sitting at 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year.
The real window opens up on Friday morning, the 3rd of July. That same 5ft WNW groundswell (period of 10 seconds) is still running, but the wind has flipped to a light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. That's going to clean things right up. This is the standout session. It's not a huge wave, but it's clean and rideable. Saturday morning, the 4th, is also worth a paddle with a dropping 4ft swell from the W and cross-offshore winds, keeping things tidy.
From Sunday the 5th onwards, the swell really backs off. We're looking at dribbly waves under 3ft for the next week. The combined energy drops into the double digits and low triple digits, so it's weak out there. There will be a few windows of clean conditions, like Monday morning the 6th with glassy conditions, but the swell is too small to get excited about.
After the 10th of July, the energy picks up a touch, but the wind turns onshore or messy. The 10th of July afternoon has a small 2ft, 13-second period swell, which is interesting for a point, but the size just isn't there.
Honestly, after the first weekend, there's a long, quiet stretch. From the 11th of July right through to the 17th of July, it's mostly small, wind-affected slop. Combined energy is often below 100, which is basically flat. There's a couple of offshore wind days on the 15th and 16th, but with swell heights of 1ft, it's a waste of time.
So, to wrap it up: The pick of the fortnight is Friday morning, the 3rd of July. Get on it. Saturday morning is a secondary option if you miss it. After that, the cupboard is bare for a good long while.
Rusty.
