Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capbreton - La Pointe over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here again. I’ve been over the numbers for Capbreton - La Pointe, and I’ll be honest, it’s a grim outlook. The next two weeks are practically flat. No real energy, and the wind keeps messing up what little we get.
Kicking off on Monday, July 13th, it’s a washout. There’s a weak 5ft swell from the WNW, but it’s cross-on and messy, with an energy reading of 166. The water is way warmer than normal, sitting at 76°F, a massive 7°F above the average. Tuesday the 14th is even worse, with the swell dropping to almost nothing.
From there it’s a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 15th right through to Saturday the 26th of July, you’re looking at tiny swells, mostly under 3ft, with short periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The energy numbers are all in the double digits – that’s barely a bump. The wind almost never lays off long enough to make it clean. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Saturday the 25th with light offshore wind and a tiny 1.0ft NW swell, but it’s not worth a paddle.
Finally, on Sunday the 26th of July, a small pulse rolls in. The morning shows a 3ft NW swell with an 8-second period. For the first time, the wind is glassy – dead calm – and the energy reads 103. It’s not good surf, it’s just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s small and weak, but it’s clean. That’s your one chance.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th bring a bit more size – up to 4ft and 3ft – with stronger energy (150 and 117), but it’s all cross-onshore or onshore wind, so it’ll be choppy and blown out.
For a mellow break like Capbreton - La Pointe, this is a solid stretch of nothing. The one clean window is the morning of the 26th, and that’s a tiny one. If the wind was stronger, this setup might be better for kite surfing, but it’s not. For now, it’s a waiting game.
Hang tight,
Rusty
