The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start, and honestly, for the first few days there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is small, the wind is messy, and it’s all cross-on or onshore junk. We’re looking at a gap of about four days with no real recommendations from Thursday the 23rd right through the weekend. The swell just doesn’t have the juice, and the wind is doing us no favours.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday morning the 27th of July. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as can be, and we’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 299. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have a bit of punch and shape, but with that longer period it can be a bit straight at a beach setup. Still, with glassy conditions, it’s your best bet by far. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Come Tuesday morning the 28th, we’ve got a touch of offshore breeze from the ESE at 3 mph, with a clean 4ft NW swell. The energy is still moderate at 262. It’s surfable, but it’s not the standout Monday was. The afternoon goes onshore again, so morning sessions are the only game.
After that, the surf drops off quickly. The rest of the week into August is small, weak, and mostly onshore. There’s a couple of sessions on Monday the 3rd of August morning with a clean 3ft swell from the WNW and a light cross-off breeze, but it’s tiny. Then again on Wednesday the 5th of August morning, same story – clean, 2ft, very ordinary.
The only standout session in the whole outlook is that Monday morning the 27th of July. Glassy, clean, and some groundswell energy. The rest is either too small, too windy, or both. If you’re a beginner, be careful on that Monday – the 4ft is fine, but the period is long enough to keep you honest. The crowd at Capbreton - La Pointe can be there sometimes, so you might have company.
Overall, it’s a lean run. A few clean windows, but nothing to get too excited about after that Monday.
