The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Anglet - La Barre over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start. We're looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. The first week is pretty grim, with only tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The water is a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's one thing to be happy about if you're just floating around.
The first real chance for a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday the 6th of August. We get a small 3ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (126), and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which should keep things clean. It's surfable, but very ordinary. After that, it's back to tiny, weak waves and onshore winds for days.
There's a big gap of nothing happening until we get to the standout morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. This is the one to circle. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the NW, with a longer period of 11 seconds, packing a whopping 759 units of energy. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is a major positive for clean conditions. This is a solid, powerful groundswell for the river mouth. The water will still be warm, but this is a proper session. The afternoon looks like it gets blown out, so get in the water early.
The last few days of the forecast drop right back down to tiny waves and glassy conditions, perfect for a paddle but not much of a surf.
So, to be honest, the only true standout here is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. Get on it.
Rusty.
