The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Cap de la Chevre.
The next 16 days start off pretty grim. A pulse of WNW swell rolls in on Monday the 27th with 6ft surf and moderate energy (565), but a stiff NW cross-on breeze at 9 to 16 mph makes a mess of it. That’s a no-go for a paddle session. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about 1° warmer than usual – nothing to write home about, just a bit mild for the time of year.
Tuesday morning the 28th is the real standout. The swell drops to 4ft from the WNW, period at 10 seconds, and the wind turns glassy out of the east at only 3 mph. That’s clean. The energy is moderate (226), and for a point break like Cap de la Chevre, that longer period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The thing is, this is an expert-only wave, and it’s fairly consistent, but crowds can show up sometimes. The swell direction (WNW) is not quite the optimum WSW, but with those conditions, it’ll still peel well. This is the morning to go.
The rest of Tuesday afternoon turns onshore, and from Wednesday the 29th through to Monday the 3rd of August, the surf is minimal. Heights drop below 3ft, periods shrink, and winds are onshore or cross-shore. The energy is weak, often under 100 (58 to 104). There’s a long gap of poor options here.
A brief window appears on Saturday the 8th of August. Swell builds to 6ft from the WNW with 551 energy, period at 9 seconds. The morning has light offshore west wind at 9 mph, but the report says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” That’s a gamble, but for experts, the size is there. It’s not a standout, just a possibility.
Sunday the 9th of August morning has 6ft swell from the west, period 9 seconds, energy 632, and light 6 mph onshore wind. Again, marginal. The swell is strong, but the wind isn’t helping. After that, the week of the 10th offers consistent 4ft to 6ft WNW swell, but the wind is always cross-on or onshore, and often fresh at 16 to 19 mph. That’s lumpy and choppy, better suited for a kite session than a clean surf.
So, the real call is Tuesday morning the 28th. That’s the one clean window. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too marginal.
Rusty.
