The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening with the surf.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell for Capbreton - La Pointe. We’ve got a solid stretch of small, weak swell and a lot of onshore wind messing things up. The truth is, from Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to the morning of Friday the 7th of August, it’s just not looking good. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. You’ll see a few glassy moments on the morning of Friday the 31st of July, but the waves are only 2ft, so it’s barely a bump. There’s nothing to get excited about. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Now, here’s the standout. Monday the 10th of August is the real deal. The morning is going to be a beauty. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell rolling in with a solid 10-second period, and the energy is pumping at 469 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy – light north at 3 mph. That’s pure, clean, uncrowded conditions. The swell direction is from the NW, which is exactly what this spot likes (optimum is W). It’s a fairly consistent break, so you’ll get waves. The water’s going to be clean, and the vibe will be good. Because the swell is over 5ft, it might be a bit much for absolute beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session to aim for.
The next morning, Tuesday the 11th of August, is also worth a mention. It’s a bit smaller at 5ft, but the wind is glassy again from the east at 3 mph, and the energy is 347 (moderate). The same NW swell, same clean conditions. It’s a close second to the Monday, but Monday just has that little extra punch.
Other than that, the rest of the period is a write-off. The swell tries to pick up again on the 9th of August, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy. Don’t bother.
So to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a no-go. The real action is on Monday morning the 10th of August – that’s your best bet. Tuesday morning the 11th is also solid. Mark your calendar, and I’ll see you out there.
Rusty.
