The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is looking pretty flat and sad. We're talkin' a real drought here. There's just nothin' worth paddling out for from Friday morning right through to the following Friday. A whole week of scraps. The water's sittin' at a balmy 76°F right now, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but there's no swell to enjoy it in.
The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Saturday, August 15th. The early morning is where it's at. The wind is gonna be dead calm – glassy as a mirror – and we'll see a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period. The energy is building, comin' in at 355, which is a decent kick. This is the standout session of the entire forecast. The break is Capbreton - La Pointe, which is a fairly exposed spot, so it'll catch that NW swell alright. It's a beginner-friendly wave, but with that glassy morning, it'll be a joy for anyone. The swell direction is a perfect match for the break's optimum. Just keep in mind, it's a "sometimes" crowd spot, so you might have some company.
The rest of that weekend and into the next week is a bit of a mixed bag. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just mucking up the waves. There's a bit of a bump on Monday, August 18th, with a 5ft NW swell, a 253 energy reading, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the east in the morning. It's surfable, but it's not the same quality as the 15th. By Friday, August 21st, the morning looks clean with a light east wind and a 4ft NW swell, but the afternoon is a mess with a 6ft bump and howling cross-onshore winds.
The end of the forecast on Saturday, August 22nd, gets a bit of a push, with a 5ft swell from the NW, but it's another onshore wind day. The energy is high at 475, but it'll be a choppy, blown-out mess.
So, the one to circle on your calendar is the morning of Saturday, August 15th. Get out there early for those clean, glassy conditions. The rest of the period is a whole lot of "meh" and onshore slop.
Rusty.
