The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Cap de la Chevre.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The next few days are a write-off – cross-onshore winds, choppy, poor conditions. You’re looking at a gap of about a day and a half before anything worthwhile shows up.
The first real window of opportunity is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. That’s the standout for the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 7 ft swell out of the WNW, with a long period of 13 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ENE at a light 6 mph. This is a proper groundswell, and it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is a very strong 1488, so there’s plenty of power. This is a point break, so that long period should wrap in nicely. This swell is over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is the session to circle. The water temp is 65°, which is about normal for the time of year, so a 3/2 is still a good idea for the dawn patrol.
Sunday morning the 6th is smaller, with a 4 ft WNW swell but with clean cross-offshore winds from the SE. It’s a bit weak, with only 224 combined energy, so it’s more of a longboard or funboard day.
The next real highlight doesn’t come until Saturday morning, the 12th of September. Another clean session with a 5 ft, 12-second WNW swell, and light offshore winds from the East. The combined energy is 512 (moderate), and it’s looking like very good surf. This is a solid option for the weekend if you missed the first one.
The following week gets a bit messy. There’s some potential on the 19th of September, with a 7 ft WNW swell and 11-second period, but the winds are cross-offshore from the NE at 12 mph. The combined energy is strong at 1087, but the conditions are noted as marginal, so it’s not a guaranteed winner. At this range, it’s promising but less certain.
The big lesson here: don’t bother paddling out until the 5th of September. The 12th is your backup. Everything else is blown out, choppy, or just not worth the wax.
Rusty, signing off.
