The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for the Capbreton-La-Pointe area.

It’s a tough start, I gotta be honest. We’re looking at a patch of pretty ordinary days to kick things off. There’s a bit of a wait for anything decent. The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Tuesday the 28th, but before that, we’ve got a run of poor conditions.

The immediate outlook for Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th is pretty grim, with onshore winds and weak, short-period swell making a mess of things. The surf is either tiny or blown out. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th don’t offer much better, staying lumpy and weak.

Now, Tuesday morning, July 28th, is where it gets interesting. The wind is glassy from the ESE, and we’ve got a clean 4ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (305). The water is a whopping 77°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a real treat. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and with those glassy conditions, it’s your best bet for some clean, fun waves. This is the standout in the first week.

The middle of the week slides back into mediocrity, with cross-onshore winds and smaller swell. Thursday the 30th has a calm morning, but the swell is tiny at 3ft. The trend continues into the weekend of August 1st and 2nd, with the wind staying messy.

The real talk is that Sunday morning, August 2nd, looks like the best offering of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW groundswell, with a long period of 11 seconds and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The combined energy is strong (404). This is proper groundswell energy, and with clean conditions, Capbreton - La Pointe should be offering up some of the better shaped waves we’ve seen in a while. It’s still a beginner-friendly size, so it’s a good one for everyone. Just keep in mind that this is over a week out, so keep an eye on it.

The following Monday, August 3rd, brings a bigger pulse of 6ft to 7ft swell, but the wind is onshore, making it marginal and messy. That’s a bit of a shame. After that, it looks like we fade back into small, weak, and onshore conditions through the middle of August.

So, to sum it up: the best sessions are Tuesday morning the 28th and Sunday morning the 2nd of August. The standout is that Sunday the 2nd – it’s the one to pencil in the calendar if you’re patient.

Rusty.
