The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough start. The first week and a half is a real desert for surf, with nothing worth paddling out for from Thursday 6th August all the way through to the morning of Thursday 20th August. That’s a solid 14-day flat spell, so don’t bother waxing up. The water is sitting at a very unusual 79°F at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but with no waves, it doesn’t really matter.
We finally get a flicker of life on the morning of Friday 21st August at Cassis - Plage de l'Arène. The swell shows up at 5 feet out of the WNW with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (118), so it’s not a powerhouse. The wind is glassy from the ENE, which is a major positive – it’ll be clean as a whistle. The water temp is still in that warmer range. This is the only real window in the whole outlook, and while it’s nothing to write home about, the glassy conditions will make it surfable for a beginner looking for a longboard cruise. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent and prone to being crowded, but with the right board, you might snag a few fun ones.
The afternoon of the 21st sees the swell bump up to 6 feet and the period improves to 6 seconds, but the wind swings onshore, making it choppy and messy. The energy is moderate (229), but the conditions kill it. For anyone with a bit of experience, the morning is the only call.
