The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what the next couple of weeks are looking like for Anse de Cabestan. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, the start is pretty grim. We've got some promising windows later on, but you'll need to be patient.
For the first week, it’s a tough run. Swell sticks around but the wind just keeps messing it up. Monday the 7th sees some size – 6ft from the WSW – but it's cross-on and choppy, making for tough going. Not worth paddling out for. The energy is moderate (combined energy of all swells 1067) but it’s a messy beast. Through the middle of the week, we see some cleaner moments, like Tuesday afternoon with a cross-off breeze, but it’s not really setting up for anything special.
The real standout is further out, so mark your calendar. Saturday the 19th is looking like the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the west (combined energy of all swells 591) and the wind is blowing offshore from the NNE. That means clean, open faces all day. It’s a solid intermediate size, not too big for most, but not for beginners. This is your morning session.
Another one to keep an eye on is Friday the 18th. It’s a bit more uncertain being a week and a half out, but the early signs are good. The swell picks up to 7ft from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving (combined energy of all swells 2069). That’s getting into expert territory – over 8ft is for the brave only, but this is close. The wind is gentle and cross-shore, so it’ll be clean with some shape. If it holds, it'll be a ripper.
Before that, on Thursday the 17th afternoon, we get a clean 6ft from the WNW (combined energy of all swells 944) with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s a solid option if you can’t wait for the weekend. Through the second week, things generally look better, but the real juice is on the 18th and 19th. The water temp is a normal 64° for the start of the period, nothing unusual there.
So there you have it. A slow start, but the second half of the forecast has some real potential. Stay tuned.
Rusty.
