The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Cap de la Chevre. It’s a point break that takes a west-southwest swell best, but we’re going to have to be patient. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a nice little bonus.
Honestly, the first few days are a write-off. Monday afternoon the 7th is a write-off – 7ft of west swell but it’s cross-onshore, choppy, and messy, with moderate wave energy (1285). Not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 8th is a full gale, 8ft and onshore, just dangerous. Wednesday the 9th and the rest of that week are mostly poor, with small, choppy junk or very ordinary conditions. You’re looking at a gap of about three or four days before anything even smells like a wave.
Thursday morning the 10th is the first flicker of hope. It’s small – 3ft from the WNW – but the wind swings cross-offshore from the SSE, and it’s clean. The energy is weak (136), so it’s more of a longboard grovel, but for a point break that’s often tricky, clean little waves are a win.
Now, if you can wait, Friday the 11th morning is your real standout. The swell picks up to 4ft from the west, still light cross-offshore wind from the SSE, and the conditions are clean. Wave energy is moderate (276). It’s not huge, but the combination of a decent swell direction for the break, clean surfaces, and the fact that the point will groom it makes this the best session of the whole outlook. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a Friday morning you might get lucky.
Saturday the 12th morning is another quiet highlight – glassy conditions, 2ft from the WNW, but with a very long 15-second period (255 energy). That’s a groundswell, and on a point it’ll wrap in clean, but it’s small. Only for a log or a funboard, but dead glassy.
Everything after that Sunday the 13th slides back into mediocrity – onshore winds, lumpy, or just poor. There’s a small window on Wednesday the 16th morning with 6ft WNW swell (777) and cross-shore wind that might offer a few, but it’s not clean. By the second week, the pattern is the same: lots of onshore or cross-onshore, freshness, and choppy conditions. Nothing else worth getting excited about.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got a bonzer Thursday or Friday free, point the car at Cap de la Chevre. Friday the 11th morning is the one.
