The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Anglet - La Barre. It’s a bit of a quiet stretch to be honest, with nothing really firing to get the heart pumping in the first week. We’ve got a scattering of small days, but the wind just doesn’t play ball most of the time.

Thursday 6th August starts it off with some small 3ft NW swell, but that morning cross-off breeze from the NNE is light enough to keep things rideable, even if it’s not pretty. The afternoon goes wrong with a 12 mph cross-on wind spoiling it. The energy is weak to moderate.

Friday 7th August is a real highlight for the early part, if you can call it that. The morning is pure glass, a light NW wind at 3 mph, and the swell drops to 2ft from the NW. It’s small, but that glassy surface will make it feel better than it is. A nice little window for a log or a funboard. Energy is weak.

After that, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th are pretty grim. Saturday is tiny with onshore chop, and Sunday morning is glassy but tiny with a 2ft NW swell at 10 seconds. The afternoon gets slammed by a 12 mph onshore wind, ruining it. Energy stays weak.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a mix of small, messy surf and poor conditions. There’s a solid gap here with nothing really worth paddling out for. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report there.

Now, let’s skip ahead to Monday 17th August. There’s a glimmer. The morning is dead calm with a 0 mph NNE wind – glassy as a lake. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the WNW, period short at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate. It’s surfable, but pretty average. The afternoon gets messy again with the wind picking up.

The next standout – and really the only true standout in this whole 16-day run – lands on Tuesday 18th August morning. We get a solid 8ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. That’s a moderate to strong pulse of energy. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but this is the biggest, most powerful swell of the period. Be warned though, at 8ft, this is pushing well into expert territory, especially at a river/jetty setup. The wave direction is a solid W, which is what this spot likes to see. It’s inconsistent though, so don’t expect a constant conveyor belt. Because the swell is this size and the wind is messy, if you are not on a shortboard, this is going to be a struggle.

Wednesday 19th August morning has a 6ft NW swell with a cross-shore breeze, so it’s a bit cleaner than the day before but half the size. The energy is still moderate. Not a bad option if Tuesday is too heavy, but it’s still pretty small.

The last few days of the outlook, Thursday 20th and Friday 21st August, drop right back off into the doldrums with tiny, mushy waves and onshore winds.

So, for the best on offer, I’d aim for Tuesday 18th August morning for the biggest push of swell, but only if you’re an experienced surfer who can handle a 8ft wave and a bit of wind bump. If you want something cleaner and more manageable, Friday 7th August morning and Monday 17th August morning give you glassy, rideable conditions, even if the waves are small. The rest? Not worth wetting your suit for.

Rusty.
