The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Le Petit Minou for the next couple weeks.

To be honest, we’re staring at a flat patch that lasts a good while. From Friday 14 August straight through to Tuesday 25 August, there’s barely a wave worth paddling for. Plenty of mornings look clean, like Friday 14th morning with 0.9m of west swell and a light cross-off northerly wind at 9 mph, but the wave quality is just ordinary – weak energy at 136, nothing doing. You’re better off takin’ a long walk.

Saturday 15th morning bumps up to 1.3m from the west-northwest, but that’s a short 8-second period and the wind is a stiff 16 mph cross-off – not clean or inviting. The energy climbs to 237, but it’s flagged as marginal. By Sunday 16th, we’re back under 1m and fading. So yeah, more than a week of nearly nothing.

Now, the light at the end of the tunnel comes Wednesday 26 August. That morning brings 1.5m of west swell at 8 seconds, with a glassy offshore breeze from the east at just 3 mph. The combined energy jumps to 394 – that’s solid. It’s the first real chance at good, clean surf. Perfect for an intermediate surfer who’s been starved for waves.

But then Thursday 27th gets messy with a cross-onshore wind, and Friday 28th morning explodes: 4.5m of west-northwest swell with a very long 12-second period, energy at 5473. The wind is offshore from the north at 9 mph – clean, but the size is way too big for this break. Experts only, and even then, it’s a beast. Saturday 29th is still 3.5m with a long period – same story, big and heavy.

So the takeaway? The first week and a half is a total bust. The only window for a fun, uncrowded surf is Wednesday 26 August morning. That’s your golden ticket. Everything after that is either too small or way too big.

Stay patient and keep your eyes on the ocean.

Rusty.

Information about the Le Petit Minou Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Le Petit Minou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Le Petit Minou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Le Petit Minou surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Le Petit Minou) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
