The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about what’s coming our way for the next couple weeks.
Well, I gotta be honest with you, it’s a grim picture for Cap de la Chevre. We’re looking at a full 16-day window with nothing but poor surf conditions on the cards. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of frustration. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first week is a write-off. We kick off Sunday morning with a tiny 1 ft W swell, short period of 8 seconds, and the wave energy is barely there (29). The light easterly breeze will keep it clean, but it’s just not enough to do anything with. That sets the tone. Through Monday and Tuesday we see the swell bumping up to 4 ft, but it's short period (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-on, turning the surface into a messy chop. The wave energy gets into the moderate range (160) but with no decent wind, it’s just a lumpy, bumpy mess. Wednesday’s morning looks a bit cleaner with onshore winds, but again, the 4 ft short-period swell is too weak and sloppy.
We slog through the rest of the first week with the same story: small, short-period swells being ruined by moderate to fresh cross-onshore breezes. Even when the swell direction swings to the optimum WSW, the wind is always fighting you. The second week offers no relief. It’s more of the same – tiny waves with bad wind. The best look might be on Saturday, August 15th morning when it goes glassy – but that 2 ft W swell (51 energy) is just too small to salvage a session. It’s a cruel tease.
The whole setup is so consistently poor and the winds are so persistently uncooperative that, quite honestly, the lineup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period. There are long gaps of days with zero recommendations. For an expert-level point break that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But it won't stay poor forever – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
