The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what’s cookin’ for Cap de la Chevre over the next 16 days.
Honestly, it’s mostly a bust. From Friday the 14th all the way through the weekend of the 24th, it’s just flat, choppy, or onshore junk. You’re not gonna find anything worth paddling out for until the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August. That’s a long dry spell.
That Wednesday morning is the one to circle. We get a west swell around 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds, and a combined energy of 388—that’s moderate. The wind is light out of the east at only 3 mph, basically glassy. Clean face, offshore. Cap de la Chevre is a point break for experts, and that west swell with the file’s optimum direction from the WSW should wrap in nice. No crowds mentioned, so you might have it quiet.
After that, Thursday the 27th picks up to 6ft – 7ft from the WSW, but the wind turns onshore, making it lumpy. Combined energy hits 453 to 683 (moderate), but it’s messy. Then Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th go huge—15ft to 16ft from the WNW with a long period of 12–13 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 5473 and even 11653 (very strong). That’s massive groundswell. For a point break, it’s gonna be heaving and dangerous, with strong cross-winds and rain. Not for the faint-hearted, and definitely not for beginners.
Bottom line: if you want clean surf, aim for Wednesday the 26th in the morning. Everything else is either tiny, blown out, or way too big.
