The Lowdown
### Imperial
Alright, folks, Rusty here. It’s been a tough stretch for waves around here, so let’s get straight into it.
Looking at the next 16 days, the truth is we’re in a flat spell. The first real hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, August 9th, and even then it’s a bit of a gamble. That’s over a week of straight doldrums from the start.
For the first half of the period, from now through August 8th, it’s a no-go. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell, mostly under 2ft, with short periods and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. The water is about 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
The first faint pulse comes in on Sunday the 9th. Anglet - La Barre sees a bump up to 4ft from the WNW, with a moderate combined energy of around 232, but the wind is straight onshore from the WNW. The morning might be glassy, but the afternoon is a cross-on mess. It’s not great, but it’s the first sign of life.
The morning of Monday, August 10th, is actually the best of a very average bunch. The swell drops to 3ft from the NW, but the wind is glassy from the N. The combined energy is a moderate 119. It’s small, but it’s clean. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. This is a river/jetty break, so it can handle a bit of swell, but it’s inconsistent. If you go, expect crowds to be possible.
The rest of the second week is a write-off. Onshore winds, tiny swell, and poor conditions. A couple of mornings on the 12th and 16th show glassy conditions, but the swell is too weak (2ft and 2ft) to get excited about. The 16th does have a spike to 4ft in the afternoon, but it’s onshore and messy.
Honestly, there’s no standout. The best of the worst is the Monday morning of the 10th for a clean, tiny session. It’s a waiting game now.
Rusty.
