Le Petit Train Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for Le Petit Train. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. There are no real standouts, just a couple of brief windows where the surf might be worth a look if you’re desperate. The first few days are a write-off, and after that, we’re looking at a long, empty stretch.

The water is notably warm, sitting at 74°F and about 4°F above the norm for this time of year. That’s a solid anomaly, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even boardies.

The first real, even half-decent, chance comes on Tuesday, 28th July. The morning session is the only glimmer. The swell is small at 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The key thing here is the wind: it’s from the SE at 3 mph, making it glassy. That’s the only clean window we get. The combined energy is moderate (212). It’s a beginner spot, so the small size is fine, but it’s *inconsistent* here, so don’t expect a wave every minute.

The next sniff of anything is on Sunday, 2nd August. The morning shows a similar setup: 4ft from the NW, 7-second period, and glassy conditions with a light NW wind. The energy is moderate (142) but the short period means the waves won’t have much push. Again, it’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Beyond that, from the 3rd of August right through to the 11th, it’s a total bust. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, gusting up to 19 mph, and the swell drops to anemic levels. The combined energy often dips below 100, which is just weak. There’s nothing to recommend. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area.

The only real highlight is that Tuesday morning, 28th July. If you’re a beginner wanting a clean, small wave, that’s your shot. The rest? Not worth paddling out for.

Rusty.
