The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, with the first real window of hope not turning up until Tuesday the 4th of August. Before that, we’re looking at a whole lot of small, choppy, and onshore conditions from the 27th of July right through to the morning of the 3rd of August. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is weak (under 100). It’s a flat spell, simple as that.
The first faint glimmer comes on Tuesday the 4th of August in the morning at Capbreton - La Pointe. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the water is flat as a mirror. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the W, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is only 98 (weak), so it’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re desperate for a float and a few ankle-biters, it’s the cleanest you’ll see all week. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy.
The next little blip is on Friday the 7th of August morning. Again, glassy conditions with an ENE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is only 2 ft from the WNW and the period is a short 8 seconds. Energy is a puny 40 (weak). It’s a pretty ordinary option, but the calm surface will make it look better than it is.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. Capbreton - La Pointe sees a bit more life: 4 ft from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. The wind is glassy again though, and the energy climbs to 125 (moderate). It’s the best of a very quiet bunch. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, 4 ft is perfectly manageable, and with that clean, glassy surface, it’ll be the best session of the whole forecast. The crowds here are sometimes a factor, so if you’re keen, get there early.
Overall, it’s a poor run of surf. The beach setup here, with the onshore winds and small swell, is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. The forecasts can always change, but right now, the 11th of August morning is your best bet.
Rusty.
