The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here, and I’ve looked over the cards for Capbreton - La Pointe. I’ll be honest, we’ve got a long stretch of disappointing surf ahead, with just a couple of brief moments that might save the trip.

The Big Picture

We’re starting with a week of messy, blown-out conditions. The first few days are a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, short-period swell. There’s one morning that cleans up nicely, but it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it window. The second week actually sees cleaner skies, but the swell drops to almost nothing, leaving us with tiny, marginal waves. For a spot that’s fairly exposed to a W swell, this is a rough pattern.

The Breakdown

We kick off on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th with a mess. Moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds around 12-18 mph, whipping up a short-period, lumpy 5ft to 6ft swell from the W and NW. The combined energy hits between 196 and 331, so there’s power, but it’s all chop and no shape. Not worth the paddle out.

Monday the 27th is a little better, but still not good. The morning shows a light offshore breeze (3 mph from the NNW) with a 3ft NW swell and a long 11-second period, giving a combined energy of 277. The problem is the wave comment says it’s “marginal”. The afternoon turns cross-onshore again, so stay on the sand.

Now, Tuesday the 28th morning is your best chance in the first week. We get a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph, making for clean conditions. The swell is a consistent 4ft from the NW with a solid 10-second period, giving a combined energy of 311. That’s moderate energy, and with clean faces, this will be the most fun you’ll have all week. The break is fairly consistent here, but expect some company—crowds are possible when it’s clean.

From Wednesday the 29th through Friday the 31st, the swell drops below 3ft. There’s a glassy moment on Thursday the 30th morning and a clean cross-offshore on Friday the 31st morning, but with weak energy (around 104 and 55) and tiny 2ft waves, it’s only worth a look with a foamie if you’re desperate.

Then we hit a long flat spell. From the 1st of August right through to the 9th, the swell is tiny, often below 2ft, with very weak combined energy. The water temp is about average for the time of year here, so at least you won’t freeze.

The Late Call

The only glimmer in the second week is Saturday the 9th of August morning. It’s a long way out, but the forecast shows light variable winds, glassy conditions, and a 2ft W swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a weak 70, but it says “surfable waves.” If it comes together, it might be the only clean, glassy ankle-snapper of the whole run.

Final Word

If you’re a beginner looking for a clean, easy paddle, Tuesday the 28th morning is your best bet with that 4ft clean swell. For everyone else, it’s looking like a waiting game.

Stay patient, Rusty.
