The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Anglet - La Barre. Honestly, it’s a rough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about.
The first few days are a total loss. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are blown out with onshore winds and rain, with a messy, short-period swell. The wave energy is moderate, but it’s just not surfable.
The first real glimmer comes on Monday morning the 27th. It’s glassy, but the swell is a tiny 3ft from the NW, with a long 11-second period. For a river mouth setup like this, that long period can make things a bit tricky, but it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate at 242.
The only standout worth paddling for is Tuesday morning the 28th. We’ve got a light offshore wind from the East, and a clean 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 355, which is a good, solid pulse. The offshore wind should mean clean, well-shaped waves. Crowds are possible, so you’ll want to be on it early.
After that, it’s a slow fade. From Wednesday the 29th through the end of the weekend, the swell drops to almost nothing, with a mix of onshore and cross-shore breezes. The energy levels drop below 100, and it’s mostly poor conditions.
There’s a small tease on Wednesday morning the 5th of August – glassy conditions with a 3ft NW swell, 10-second period, and a combined energy of 190. It’s surfable, but nothing special. From there, it’s tiny, weak, and choppy right through to Sunday the 9th of August.
So, here’s the deal: that Tuesday morning window is your only real chance. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking back later. Forecasts can change, but this run is looking dry.
Rusty.
