The Lowdown

Alright, let me tell ya how it’s lookin’ from here.

So, we’ve got a bit of a quiet stretch ahead. The first decent window is comin’ in around Tuesday morning, July 28th, over at Capbreton - La Piste. That morning’s got some life. Swell is a clean 4 ft out of the northwest with a 10-second period – that’s a solid groundswell feel, enough juice to get you into a few. The wind is off the east, light as a feather (5 km/h), and it’s nearly glassy. That’s your ticket for a clean ride. The combined energy is moderate at 318, so not huge power but plenty for a fun session. By Tuesday afternoon though, the wind swings north and gets a bit cross, so that morning window is the one to nab.

After that, we hit a long, dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the morning of Friday, August 7th, it’s basically a flat, blown-out mess. Swells drop off to ankle-biters or smaller, wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy dips into the weak zone (between 40 and 122). Not worth paddling out – save your energy.

Now, lookin’ further ahead, we start to see a pulse buildin’ toward the second week of August. The first real standout pops up on Sunday morning, August 9th. Swell jumps to a decent 5 ft out of the northwest, period at 10 seconds, so it’s got some shape. The energy is strong at 479 – you’ll feel that push. The wind is light from the north (10 km/h), which is cross-shore, so it’s not pristine but rideable for the experienced crew. However, the next day, Monday morning, August 10th, that’s the real gem. Same 5 ft NW swell, period still 10 seconds, but the wind goes dead calm, glassy from the north. That’s clean lineup magic. Combined energy is 469 – strong and reliable. It’s an advanced break, so this is for the crew who know their way around. If you can get out there early, it’ll be worth it.

That Monday afternoon gets a bit messy with cross-onshore wind, so don’t sleep on that morning. Then Tuesday morning, August 11th is another cracker – 5 ft NW swell, period at 9 seconds, and again glassy with a light easterly puff (5 km/h). Energy is 347, solid moderate range. Crowds can be often here, so if you’re paddlin’ out on these clean mornings, expect some company, but the trade-off is worth it if you score a runner.

After that, it trails off again by Wednesday, August 12th, with the wind shifting onshore and the swell droppin’. So bottom line – the end of July is a bust, but the second week of August has two mornings (the 10th and the 11th) that look proper. Lock those in and you’ll get your fill.
