The Lowdown
Alright, crew. Rusty here. Let’s talk about the Capbreton stretch. The forecast is a bit of a snoozer, so don’t get your hopes up. Water temp is 76°F—that’s nearly 5°F warmer than the average for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re waiting.
The first chance to get wet is Wednesday, 5th August. Capbreton - La Pointe will have a glassy morning with a tiny 0.7m swell from the WNW, period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak (64). The wind is dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror, but the waves are small and weak. It’s surfable, but just barely.
Thursday, 6th August, the morning brings a little more size: 1.1m from the NW with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (182). The wind is from the NE at 10 km/h, a cross-shore breeze, which keeps it clean enough. Still not a day to call in sick for.
The standout of the whole run is Friday, 14th August. Another glassy morning, this time with 1.3m of swell from the NNW. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit crumbly, but the glassy conditions will polish it up. The energy is moderate (172). It’s the best you’ll get, but it’s a low bar.
If you’re a kite surfer, the onshore winds on the afternoons will be more fun. For paddle surfing, it’s a long wait for a few small, clean mornings. The 14th is your best shout.
Rusty.
