Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Capbreton - La Pointe over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next ten days or so are looking pretty flat. There's a pulse of weak energy coming through Sunday morning the 12th, with a tiny 2.3ft swell from the WNW, but it's got a short period and the water is a whopping 3.5° warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is only 84, so it's weak. Honestly, it's barely worth getting wet for. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and often choppy conditions from there through to the 22nd. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, messing up what little swell there is. There are a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 13th with a 4.3ft swell, but it's a short-period 6 seconds, so the waves will be fat and weak. The energy is moderate at 139, but it's not going to give you anything with punch.
Then, hang onto your board, because things get interesting on the 23rd of July. Thursday morning, we see a big jump in energy with a 7.2ft swell from the WNW, and the combined energy rockets to 539. That's a solid pulse. The wind is a light cross-on from the N, which is okay, but the swell is getting big. By Thursday afternoon, it's pushing 8.2ft with a combined energy of 977. That's serious, powerful stuff. The period is 8 seconds, so it's a bit short-period for that size, meaning it'll be a bit dumpy and walled up. This is expert territory only. It's going to be a handful, and with the wind staying onshore from the NW, the surface is going to be a mess. It's not the clean, classic swell we'd hope for.
The best bet in this whole outlook? I'd have to point you to Monday morning, the 27th of July. The swell has dropped back to a more manageable 3.3ft from the NW, but the period has stretched out to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is a solid 167. The real winner here is the wind: glassy, with a light offshore breeze from the ENE. That means absolutely clean, smooth conditions. Capbreton - La Pointe faces west, so it will pick up that NW swell. It's a beginner-friendly break, and with clean, glassy 3.3ft waves, it'll be a fun, user-friendly session for everyone. The crowds are sometimes an issue, so getting out early is key, but for this forecast period, that's your standout session.
