The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple weeks.
Right now, it’s a slow start, but there’s some good stuff building, especially towards the end of the first week and into the second. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 4°F warmer than average, so you’ll be fine in a spring suit or even boardshorts.
The real standout session this week is Sunday morning, September 13th, at Capbreton - La Pointe. We’ve got a solid 4ft of groundswell coming from the NW with a long 13-second period, and the energy is looking strong at (501). The wind is glassy out of the west, just a whisper, so those waves are going to be clean and lined up. This spot catches the swell well. Just a heads up, it can get crowded here sometimes.
Monday morning, the 14th, is also looking good. The swell holds at 5ft from the NW with an 11-second period, and the energy is up around (431). The wind is dead calm – absolutely glass – so the conditions will be top-notch for a beginner-friendly wave. This is a good one for getting out there.
Looking ahead to the following weekend, keep an eye on Saturday morning, September 19th. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW swell with an 11-second period and light offshore winds from the east. The energy reading is (341), and it’ll be a clean, fun morning. It’s a “fairly consistent” break, so you won’t be waiting around forever.
There’s a big pulse of swell forecast for around Monday, September 21st, but honestly, that’s getting too big for here. We’re talking 10ft to 12ft of NW swell with massive energy readings – over 2400 and even 3600. The wind is cross-onshore, and for this break, that’s really only for the experts, and even then, it’s messy. The setup looks more interesting for the kite crowd than paddle surfing on those days.
After that, we get a nice drop. Thursday morning, September 24th is a special one: a small 3ft swell, but with a very long 17-second period from the WNW, and glassy conditions. The wave energy is still solid at (800) because of that long period. It’ll be clean, long-period groundswell – best on the points and reefs, but if you’re on the beach, expect longer waits between sets and the waves closing out.
There’s a dry spell right at the start with hardly any surf, but once that Sunday hits, it picks up nicely. The forecast for the second week is promising but less certain, so keep checking.
Stay stoked.
