The Lowdown

Right, let's switch to feet and miles per hour. Rusty here again, and the story for Cap Frehel is the same, just in different numbers.

We've got a rough start. From Thursday the 27th of August all the way through to the 9th of September, it's pretty much a write-off. That's a solid two-week stretch with nothing worthwhile. The water's warm at about 68°F, which is a notable 4°F warmer than average for this time of year (much warmer than normal). But again, that doesn't help the surf.

The only faint heartbeat comes on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. The swell is barely over knee-high, around 2ft from the WNW, with a good 10-second period – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is weak at 63. The wind is light offshore from the SSE, so it'll be clean and glassy. The notes say 'surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,' and that's about right. It's a session for the longboard and a lot of hope.

It drops off again right after. The 11th of September is back to tiny, onshore slop. No consistency, no power, just a long, quiet stretch for the area.

Information about the Cap Frehel Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Cap Frehel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cap Frehel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cap Frehel 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 (Cap Frehel) 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 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. 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.
