Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capbreton - La Pointe over the next 16 days.
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let’s talk about the next fortnight at Capbreton - La Pointe, but in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a long, slow period ahead. From Wednesday the 8th of July right through to the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of July, you’re looking at a serious drought of surf. The waves barely hit 2ft, the energy is weak, and most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any tiny ripple we might get. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 11th morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft wave, but the period is short and the energy is still low. Not worth a paddle.
The only real event is on Thursday the 23rd of July. We get a jump to 7ft in the morning, pushing 8ft in the afternoon from the WNW, with a short 8-second period. The energy gets strong (600 and 820). But that short period means it’s going to be a messy, powerful close-out. The wind is light cross-onshore in the morning, turning onshore later. The water is much warmer than normal at 73°, but that’s the only treat. At that size, it’s for experts only, and with that wind, it honestly looks more like a kite-surfing day than a good paddle surf.
So, two weeks of flatness, then one big lumpy day for the brave. That’s your lot.
Rusty.
