The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Cap de la Chevre, and honestly, it’s a tough run ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak.
Let’s start with the water. It’s sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort, but it’s about the only one.
The first week is a write-off. From Tuesday, the 21st of July, right through the end of the month, we’ve got tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. The only real pulse of energy comes in on Sunday, the 26th of July, with a 7ft to 8ft WNW swell and moderate energy (501 to 773), but it’s absolutely hammered by a fresh cross-onshore wind. That’s too big for beginners and messy for experts—looks more like a kite session than a surf one. The waves have a short period, so they’ll be fat and crumbly. That energy drops off a bit through the following Monday and Tuesday, but the wind stays onshore and lumpy. It’s a full week of building swell that’s getting trashed by the wind.
The second week doesn’t get much better. Wednesday, the 29th, offers a small window of clean waves with a 3ft NW swell (162 energy) and a cross-off wind, but it’s only surfable, not good. Thursday, the 30th, is the only real standout in the whole run. You’ll get a 3ft NW swell with a clean offshore wind from the east. It’s small, but it’ll be the cleanest it gets. After that, it’s back to tiny, messy, onshore slop right through to the 5th of August. The swell direction is mostly WNW, which is a bit off the optimum WSW for the point, and the periods are short, so don’t expect any grunt.
This is a spot that’s fairly consistent, and it’s rare to see such a blank run, so the forecasts can change. But right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
