Alright mates, I’m gonna be straight with you – Cap Frehel is in a flat spell. I’ve looked over the whole 16-day window, and there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, and I don’t see a single decent wave to recommend.
The immediate outlook kicks off this Friday, July 3rd, with tiny 3ft NW swell and a cross wind. It only gets smaller from there. Saturday morning brings even less, 2ft, with onshore wind. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday… all the same story. The combined swell energy stays weak, mostly between 15 and 91, just a whisper of energy. There’s no point listing the specifics because it’s all flat with chop.
We do get a few moments of clean glass, like Monday, July 6th morning, with a glassy surface and a 1ft swell, but the waves are just too small to surf. Later in the period, on July 15th morning, there’s a gentle offshore wind and clean lines on 1ft swell, but still, that’s knee-high at best and hardly breaking.
After that, it fades further. The last week is all tiny to flat, with the 17th and 18th offering nothing. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only notable thing. For surf, it’s a blank run. This stretch of poor surf is common for the area, forecasts can change, but right now, there is nothing to get excited about.

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.
