The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watchin’ this stretch of coast for long enough to know when it’s gonna fire or just leave you paddlin’ on the spot. Let’s talk about what’s comin’ up for Le Petit Minou.

First thing: the water’s sittin’ at 64°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – no wild surprises there. The whole 16-day window’s a mixed bag, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get your heart goin’.

We start the run on Wednesday 9th September afternoon. Swell’s around 5 ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy’s moderate at 520. Wind’s cross from the NW at 15 km/h, so it’s a bit on the average side. Not a standout, but surfable if you’re keen.

Thursday 10th September is a write-off – poor conditions, tiny swell, and onshore winds. Same goes for Friday 11th September morning, though we get a little spike in the morning with 5 ft from the W and a 10-second period, light cross wind from the NW at 5 km/h. The energy jumps to 408, but it’s still a marginal call. Friday afternoon goes downhill again.

Saturday 12th September morning is poor, but the afternoon brings a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a long 13-second period – that’s some groundswell energy, and the combined energy climbs to 775. The wind’s cross-on, so it’s a bit choppy, but there’s potential for a cleaner wave if you time it right.

Sunday 13th September morning sees 6 ft from the WNW, 11-second period, and the energy’s at 788. Wind’s light cross-on. That’s a solid-size swell, but the wind’s not perfect. Still, for intermediate surfers, it’s worth a look.

The real standout is Monday 23rd September. Overnight, the wind goes light offshore from the NNE at 5 km/h, then turns cross-offshore from the NNW at 15 km/h in the afternoon. Swell’s a consistent 5 ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the combined energy’s around 561 and 582. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions” – and the light offshore flow will keep the faces clean. This is a proper session, mates. The swell direction’s a little off the optimum SW, but at this spot, a WNW groundswell with light offshore wind is a treat.

Then on Tuesday 24th September morning, we get a glassy moment – wind from the SE at 5 km/h, near calm. Swell’s 5 ft from the WNW, 11-second period, energy at 423. That’s clean, lined-up waves for the early crew. The afternoon goes cross-on again, so get out early.

For the rest of the window, it’s a mix of small bumpy surf and onshore slop. Wednesday 16th September sees a big 8 ft WNW swell, but the wind’s a strong cross breeze at 45 km/h – that’s messy, blown-out, and more for the kite crowd than paddle surfers. Sunday 20th September afternoon has a 8 ft WNW swell with 10 seconds and combined energy at 1364 – strong wave energy – but the wind’s cross-on, so it’s a bit of a washing machine. Still, if you’re an expert, there’ll be some heavy lumps.

The two standout days are Monday 23rd September and Tuesday 24th September morning. Mark ’em in your calendar. The rest of the window’s a bit of a gamble, but that’s the coast for ya.

Rusty.

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.
