Alright, Rusty here. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough outlook for the Basque Country. The whole 16-day window for Anglet - La Barre is a bust. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
The water is running at a very unusual 76°F, way warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth mentioning. The wave energy is weak from the start, sitting around 56, and it never really builds into anything decent. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft with a short, weak period. Even when it tries to pick up, like on July 20th with a 5ft NW swell (moderate energy up to 235), the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, just wrecking the surface.
We get a couple of glassy windows, like the morning of July 13th and July 17th, but the swell is so small those days (1ft to 4ft) you'd be hard-pressed to find a ride. For a beginner spot like La Barre, the bigger stuff later on is no good either. By July 23rd and 24th, we're looking at 5ft to 7ft swell with 9 to 10-second periods and strong onshore winds at 12 mph. That’s choppy, messy, and no fun for anyone. The energy hits strong levels (430 to 745), but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Honestly, with that constant onshore wind, it looks like a better setup for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem. The whole 16-day stretch is a gap. We’ve got a few glassy mornings that are too small, and a few days with size that are blown out. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
