Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anse de Cabestan over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a bleak start. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special to kick things off. From now until the 22nd of July, there’s basically no decent surf on offer. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the energy is weak. It’s a proper lull, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Thursday, 23 July at Anse de Cabestan. This is the standout. The swell ticks up to a clean 5ft from the West, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is glassy—dead calm—which means the surface will be like a mirror. Combine that with the swell energy sitting at 237 (moderate), and you’ve got the best conditions we’ll see in this window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
After that, Friday the 24th sees a big jump in size, but it’s messy. The morning brings 8ft from the West with a period of 9 seconds, and a fresh cross-shore wind (19 mph) that’ll chop it up. The energy is strong (1047), but it’s only for experts, and the wind is a letdown. Saturday the 25th is similar—big 8ft to 7ft West swell, with a long period of 11-12 seconds. The morning is cross-on with light wind, the afternoon is cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still big and a bit of a mixed bag. This late in the forecast, keep your expectations in check.
To sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The only real window is Thursday 23rd morning—that’s your best bet. After that, there’s size but conditions are compromised.
Stay patient,
Rusty
