The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening around Le Petit Minou for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s looking pretty thin. The water’s at 67°F, which is a bit warmer than what you’d normally see right now, so that’s a small win if you’re getting in the water.

We start on Saturday, August 1st with a bit of a nothing morning. You’ve got clean, cross-off waves about 2ft out of the west, with a light 10 km/h northerly breeze. The combined energy is weak (69), so it’s just small, workable stuff. It’s not exciting, but you could paddle out. The afternoon gets too windy – 25 km/h from the north – and the quality goes right out the window.

Sunday the 2nd is a total miss. The morning has 1ft and offshore wind, but the swell is just too weak and short to do anything with. The energy is barely there (29). Monday the 3rd is a bit of a tease again – the morning has 2ft from the west, period 8 seconds, and a light breeze, but it’s still very ordinary. The afternoon turns into a cross-onshore mess.

From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to the start of the second week, it’s a long, poor stretch. The wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, coming from the southwest to the west, and the swell stays small and messy. The energy does bump into the moderate range a few times – like Wednesday the 5th afternoon with 256 (moderate energy) and 5ft from the west, but with 25 km/h winds straight onshore, it’s just not worth it. That whole period is a blank for any decent waves.

We get a tiny glimmer of hope on Wednesday, August 12th. The morning goes glassy as the wind drops to nothing out of the east, and we’ve got 2ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is still weak (82) but with that glassy surface, you might find a few clean little ones if you’re really keen. The afternoon goes cross-off again, but it stays clean.

Thursday the 13th morning is a similar story – 3ft from the west, period 9 seconds, light cross-off breeze, and the energy nudges into the moderate range (111). It’s still not great, but it’s the best of a pretty average bunch. The afternoon turns cross-shore and choppy.

After that, we’re back into poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast. The swell gets a bit longer in period on the 15th and 16th, but the wind is from the west or southwest, putting it onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and messy. No real gems in this whole 16-day window – it’s a quiet one for Le Petit Minou.

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.
