The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I gotta tell ya, this 16-day stretch for Capbreton - La Pointe is gonna test your patience. Most of it is pretty bleak with tiny surf and junky wind. The water’s running much warmer than usual for this time of year at 75°F.
The first session worth even looking at is Monday morning, August 10th. We’re talking a tiny 2ft swell out of the NW with a 9-second period, but the wind goes glassy. That’s your only clean shot in the first week. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings also go glassy, but the swell is still just 2ft and weak (72 combined energy). The rest of that first week is just cross-onshore or onshore chop – not worth paddling out.
Moving into the second week, it’s more of the same. The one real standout in the whole forecast is Saturday morning, August 22nd. We get a bump to 5ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, and the wind goes glassy again. The combined energy jumps to 255, the highest we see. That’s the only time the swell pushes past knee-to-waist high with clean conditions. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s your window.
But it gets messy fast. By Saturday afternoon the wind goes cross-onshore, and the following days keep the swell around 3-4ft with onshore winds, churning it up. Since this break is fairly consistent, a long quiet patch like this isn’t unheard of – the swell just isn’t lining up with the right wind.
If you’re really keen, those glassy mornings on the 10th and 12th might give you a tiny 2ft wave to play on, but don’t get your hopes up. The one to circle on the calendar is the 22nd morning.
Rusty.
