The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
Capbreton – La Pointe starts off slow. Wednesday morning is a mess—rain showers, on-shore north wind, and 6ft NW swell pumping 550 (moderate energy). Water temp’s 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday 10th morning is your first good call: glassy flat calm, 4ft NW groundswell going 10 seconds. Clean, small, perfect for a beginner. That’s the one to circle.
The 11th and 12th mornings are glassy again but tiny—2ft to 3ft. Still rideable if you’re keen.
Then Sunday 13th morning: this is the standout. Dead calm, 4ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period. Energy hits 501. That’s quality, lined-up surf. For a beginner-friendly break, that’s as good as it gets around here.
Monday 14th morning is another glassy gem: 4ft, 12-second NW swell.
Looking further out, Saturday 19th morning has clean offshore wind, 4ft NW swell at 14 seconds. Nice, but it’s over a week off so stay hopeful.
Then Thursday 24th morning brings a bigger pulse—6ft NW swell at 12 seconds, energy up at 913. That’s expert territory for a beach break.
Bottom line: Thursday 10th and Sunday 13th mornings are your best windows. Clean, glassy, and small enough to enjoy. Crowds can show sometimes, so beat the alarm.
Rusty.
