The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at La Piste (Capbreton - La Piste) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, Friday the 28th is a write-off – messy, choppy cross-onshore slop with weak energy (329) and choppy junk. Not worth paddling out.
The real action starts to kick off Saturday the 29th. Saturday morning is the standout of the first week. Glassy conditions, clean as a whistle, with a solid 7ft groundswell rolling in from the WNW. This is proper wave energy (710) – you’ll feel the push. Long 9-second period gives it some shape, but it’s a pretty good size, so it’s for those with some experience. Sunday morning the 30th is also tidy with 5ft and clean offshore wind from the east, though the energy drops a notch (573). Monday morning the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September offer more glassy windows with around 5ft and 5ft, but the energy continues to fade. Keep an eye on Saturday morning the 5th of September – that’s a promising one further out. You’ve got 5ft from the NW with a long 12-second period and a light offshore from the ENE. The energy is strong (685), and with those clean conditions, that could be a cracker.
There’s a big drop-off after the 6th – a real flat spell sets in from the 7th through to the 12th, with minimal energy (mostly under 200) and cross-onshore or onshore junk. The 8th offers a tiny window of glassy 3ft, but it’s really just knee-high dribble. Thursday the 11th of September may see a bump back up to 4ft, but it’s buried in rain and a stiff cross-onshore wind (16 mph). That’ll be a choppy mess.
So, bottom line: Saturday morning the 29th and Saturday morning the 5th of September are your two standouts. The Saturday the 29th is the safer, more immediate call with glassy perfection and proper size. The Saturday the 5th is a longer-range promise, but it looks like a clean, long-period groundswell session. Don’t bother with the rest unless you’re desperate for a splash.
Rusty.
