La Caffrine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the pipe for La Caffrine. I’ve got the goods from the models, so let’s get into it.

We’ve got some solid energy lining up, but you gotta pick your moments. This spot is exposed to SSW swells, and we’re seeing a consistent run of clean conditions, especially in the mornings. Water temp is sittin’ about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

Kickin’ off Monday the 13th, we’ve got a nice little pulse. Morning has a 8ft SW swell (14-second period) with a cross-off breeze, but the real gem is the afternoon – 8ft from the SSW, 14 seconds again, and glassy wind. That’s gonna be clean, powerful, and lookin’ real good. Experienced surfers only at that size though (combined energy of 2489). That afternoon session on Monday is the standout for the first week.

Tuesday morning the 14th drops a bit to 6ft, but the wind goes cross-on, making it a bit lumpy. The real magic window rolls into Wednesday the 15th. Morning is a beauty: 5ft from the south, 12-second swell, and absolutely glassy with no wind. For a beginner-friendly break like La Caffrine, that’s the session to be in the water – clean as a whistle.

We get a bit of a lull Thursday and Friday, with smaller swell, but Friday the 17th morning has a very long 17-second period groundswell from the south at 2ft. That’s a long wait between sets, but the shape could be real nice. Glassy wind, too. Worth a paddle if you’ve got the patience.

Now, hold onto your board. Sunday the 19th afternoon sees a massive 7ft SSW swell with a 19-second period – that’s some serious energy from a long ways away (combined energy of 3605). The wind is cross, so it won’t be perfect, but the power is there. It’s a bigger day, so keep it in the experienced crew.

Monday the 20th is a beast. We’ve got a 10ft SSW swell pumping, but the wind is getting up there too – fresh breeze in the afternoon. The models are even saying this might be too big for this break. That kind of size and wind, this beach setup is gonna look a lot more like a kite-surfing playground than a paddle spot.

The second week settles down a bit. From the 21st to the 23rd, we’ve got a consistent run of 7ft to 8ft S/ESE swell with clean cross-off winds. It’s consistent, but nothing that’s gonna blow your mind. Then Friday the 24th morning brings back a nice 6ft SSW groundswell (17-second period) with light cross-off breeze. Clean and punchy for the experienced lot.

Honestly, for the standouts: the glassy Monday afternoon on the 13th and the glassy Wednesday morning on the 15th are the best on offer. They’re clean, the swell is right, and the energy is there. Get in the water.

Rusty.
