The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Cap de la Chevre. It’s a bit of a slow start, I won’t lie. The first few days are pretty grim – we’re looking at a run of poor surf conditions through to the end of the first week. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak, with combined energy struggling into the low hundreds (173 to 352). Honestly, not worth paddling out for.
Come Saturday the 5th of September though, there’s a real glimmer. The morning brings a clean 4.9ft swell from the WNW with a solid 12-second period, so there’s proper groundswell energy in the water – combined energy hits 626 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be clean. This is a point break, and with that longer period, it will set up nicely. Keep in mind it’s an expert break and crowds are possible. This is the standout session of the first week, no question.
After that, Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th drop off again. The wind messes things up on Monday afternoon, and the swell gets a bit lumpy. Not worth getting excited about.
Now, the second week. The real highlight is on Monday the 14th of September. Early morning, we get a gorgeous window: glassy, offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, and a clean 4.9ft swell from the WNW with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 919 (strong). This is the best on offer across the entire outlook – clean, lined-up groundswell at an expert point break. Just be aware crowds can be an issue here.
There’s also a solid option on Wednesday the 16th of September morning. Another clean morning with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph, and a 4.3ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period. Combined energy is strong at 800. That’s a very good session for the more experienced surfers.
Overall, the first week is mostly a write-off, then the second week delivers a couple of absolute crackers. Keep an eye on that Monday the 14th and Wednesday the 16th – those are the ones to circle.
