The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Capbreton - La Pointe. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real gems hiding in there if you’re patient.
The overall pattern starts with some small, clean windows early on, then builds into a solid run of proper swell, but the wind isn't always going to play ball. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.
The first real standout is Sunday morning, September 13th. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell rolling in with a 13-second period and glassy conditions from a light easterly breeze. The combined energy is a solid moderate 501, and it’s going to feel good out there. A perfect window for the beginner-friendly banks to show some fun lines.
Monday morning, September 14th looks very similar – 4ft of NW swell, 11-second period, and glassy conditions with the ENE wind. It’s a bit smaller on energy at 389, but still a really nice, clean option to start your week.
Things get a bit messy through the middle of the week with onshore winds and smaller, shorter-period swell, but hold onto your board because Saturday morning, September 19th is where it gets serious. The swell jumps to a powerful 7ft from the NW with a 13-second period and the combined energy hits a massive 1346 – that’s strong. The wind is glassy from the ENE again. This one is for experienced surfers only, as it’s pushing into the big stuff. It’ll be a real spectacle.
Sunday morning, September 20th is another great call. 6ft of NW swell, 12-second period, and glassy conditions again with the easterly breeze. The energy is strong at 805, and it’ll be cleaner than the afternoon when the seabreeze kicks in.
Looking further ahead, the morning of Monday, September 21st has a very solid 7ft NW swell with a long 14-second period. The energy is huge at 1664, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. It’ll be powerful and lined up, but not perfect. Given the size and long period, the point and reef setups nearby will be handling this better than the beach.
Tuesday morning, September 22nd is another glassy morning to note. 5ft of NW swell with a 12-second period and clean conditions. A very solid option.
And for those who can wait, Friday morning, September 25th delivers again. 6ft of NW swell with a 12-second period, light offshore wind from the SE, and clean conditions. The energy is a strong 882. That’s a proper morning session right there.
In between these highlights, there are a lot of afternoons and days with onshore or cross-onshore winds that will chop things up. The first week is the most reliable; the second week has some promising early-morning windows, but the wind patterns get a bit more variable.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the Sunday and Saturday morning windows are your best bets.
Rusty.
