Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Capbreton - La Piste.
Right now, and for the next several days, the surf is pretty much a no-go. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell with onshore wind, which means the water’s messy and the waves are just not doing anything. The water is 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Saturday, July 11. The morning offers a slight whisper of hope with a 3 ft swell from the WNW, and the wind goes offshore from the east, so the surface will be clean. The wave energy is moderate (123) but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy. Not a standout, but at least it’s surfable.
Sunday morning, July 12, is actually the best on offer in this whole outlook. The swell is still small, 2 ft from the WNW, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The waves will be clean and smooth, but honestly, the energy is weak (86) and the size is tiny. It’s a session for a longboard or a foamie, no doubt. It’s a little bit of a silver lining after a long dry spell.
After that, we’re back into a gap of poor conditions. The next bump of any note is a long way off, on Monday, July 20. The morning shows a 5 ft WNW swell with moderate energy (110), but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. That’s a bit of a bummer, but the height is there for a bit more power. Still, it’s not a clean day.
Bottom line: the only real standout is Sunday morning, July 12, for a glassy small-wave session. Don’t expect much else. The water’s unseasonably warm, but the waves are not.
Rusty.
