Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Capbreton – La Piste.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run. For the first week and a half or so, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak, with values mostly below 100, and the onshore winds are just wrecking whatever small swell is there. We’ve got a real flat spell from the 14th July right through to the 21st July, with tiny swell, messy cross-onshore breezes, and plenty of days where it’s just not worth getting wet.
The first real standout appears on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. Now, this is a good one. We’ll have a clean, glassy morning with light easterly winds and a fun little pulse of swell. The waves will be around 4.3ft from the NNW, with moderate wave energy (201). That’s a solid, clean morning for an advanced surfer like those who hit La Piste. The sets will have a bit of punch, and the water is glassy. It’s a fairly consistent break, but crowds are often here, so get out early. The afternoon on the 22nd gets cross-onshore and messy, so the morning window is the one.
The water temperature is running at 74.5°F, which is more than 5 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm, tropical-feeling session.
After that 22nd, the conditions drop back down into poor territory for the rest of the outlook. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Sunday the 26th July where the wind goes offshore and clean from the ESE, but the swell is tiny at 1ft, so it’s not a goer.
So, the whole 16-day window has one real morning to target: the 22nd of July. Get on it while it’s glassy.
