The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here with a look at Capbreton - La Pointe. First thing you need to know: the first nine days or so are flat and not worth talking about. We don’t see anything surfable until Sunday the 9th of August. Water temp is around 75°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so leave the steamer at home.
From Friday the 31st of July through Saturday the 8th of August, the swell is tiny – running from 1ft to 4ft max – and it’s coming with mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The energy is weak, reading between 15 and 134 (combined energy). Even a couple of glassy mornings on the 4th and 6th can’t save it when the waves are barely a foot and a half. It’s a no-go.
Things finally turn on Sunday the 9th of August, morning. That’s your standout window. We get a 5ft WNW swell with a 9-second period, so it’s got some proper push. Wind is a light breeze from the NE, making it glassy – a big plus. The wave energy jumps to 452 (combined energy), telling you there’s meat on it. This is the session to aim for. By afternoon the wind swings onshore and picks up to 12 mph, so it’s morning only.
Monday the 10th of August morning brings a bigger 7ft WNW swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpier. Light onshore wind from the NNW. That size is solid, pushing into intermediate-expert territory, with a strong energy reading of 597 (combined energy). The afternoon gets messy with a moderate onshore breeze.
From Tuesday the 11th of August, the swell fades quickly and gets smaller, and wind stays shifty and onshore. By the 12th, it’s back to nearly nothing.
So, for the real deal: your one and only call is Sunday the 9th of August, early. Glassy, clean, solid 5ft waves with good energy. Be there or miss it.
Rusty.
