The Lowdown
Alright, it’s a bummer of a forecast, but I gotta call it like I see it. For Anglet - La Barre, the next 16 days are a total bust for surf. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The water’s sitting at 76°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a heated swimming pool. But the waves? They’re flat. The swell is tiny, from 1ft to 3ft, out of the NW and WNW, with a short period between 4 and 10 seconds. It’s all weak, local junk. The combined energy never cracks 100 (weak energy), most of the time it’s down in the 30s and 40s. That’s a dead ocean.
The wind is a killer. Almost the whole 16 days is cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up any little bump that might exist. There are two moments of calm – on Sunday, August 2nd, and Sunday, August 9th, the mornings go glassy. But the swell is still only 2ft to 2ft with a weak period, so you’re looking at knee-high slop. A total beginner might find a ride, but it’s not a real surf. The break is inconsistent, so long quiet spells are normal here.
The second half of the forecast, from August 10th onward, is the same sad story. Tiny swell, poor wind, no energy. The best you could do is a clean-looking ocean with no waves. Honestly, for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off. If you’ve got a kite, maybe it’s worth a look on a windier day, but for a surfboard? Leave it in the car. There’s no standout day. No one day is better than the rest. It’s just a long, flat, frustrating wait.
