The Lowdown
Yo, let’s talk surf. Rusty here, with a look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it’s pretty quiet. Tuesday morning is a no-go—small, weak WNW swell (308 combined energy) and a cross-onshore breeze messing it up. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal for early September, about 73°.
We get a little more energy Wednesday, but it’s still not clean. Thursday morning (10th September) is the first real chance: Capbreton - La Pointe has 1.3m of NW swell at 10 seconds, with glassy conditions. Clean, fun, beginner-friendly waves. Combined energy is moderate at 318.
The best session of the whole forecast is Sunday the 13th. That morning we get 1.5m of NW swell with a long 13-second period, energy jumps to 746, and the wind is glassy. This is proper groundswell—well-shaped, clean, and punchy. Not too big for most, but the longer period will bring more power. It’s the standout.
Monday the 14th morning is also good: 1.2m NW swell, still a long 12-second period, clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Another day to circle.
Then we hit a dry spell from the 15th through the 20th of September. Small waves, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few mornings on the 18th and 19th have clean but tiny surf (around 1.2m), just enough for a fun little session.
On the 22nd of September, a big pulse arrives: 1.8m WNW swell with a very long 14-second period and huge energy (1301). But the wind is onshore at 35 km/h—completely blown out. Better for the kite crew.
Then Wednesday the 23rd morning finishes things off nicely: 1.3m WNW swell, 12-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate energy. If you wait it out, you’ll be rewarded.
So the top pick is Sunday the 13th, with Thursday the 10th and Monday the 14th as solid back-ups. The long-period swells might be a little straight at the beach, but with clean wind, it’ll be worth it.
Rusty.
