Alright, let’s look at what’s in the water for Cap Frehel. I’ll be straight with you – we’re staring down a long, flat spell where you won’t need anything more than a boogie board. It’s a tough run for a wave.
From Thursday the 2nd, things kick off flat and ugly. The water is way warmer than normal at about 65°F, but that’s the only good news. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is pumping from the WNW at 16 mph, just tearing the surface apart. The combined energy is a paltry 117. That pattern holds for days.
You’ll get a little window on Saturday the 11th. That morning, the wind switches to a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at 6 mph. The swell is still tiny – only 2ft from the NW with a short 6-second period – but it is clean. The real oddball is that afternoon. The wind goes totally glassy with a 5ft swell from the NNE, but that period is a terrible 5 seconds – just bumpy, weak wind swell. The combined energy is 107, so there’s a little push, but the quality is shot. It’s very ordinary.
After that brief moment, the onshore wind returns and the swell drops away completely for the rest of the run through the 17th.
No hidden gem here, no perfect day to circle on your calendar. This is just a long stretch of quiet water. That brief, glassy moment on the 11th is the closest we get to a surf, and it’s not saying much. You’re better off waiting for the next shift in the weather.

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 Cap Frehel 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.
