The Lowdown
Alright, let's be straight with you – it's a bit of a slow start out there for the next week or so. We're looking at a long, flat spell before things start to get interesting. The first ten days are pretty much a write-off, with hardly any energy to speak of. You'll be waiting until the 29th of July before we see anything worthwhile.
The real story here is that Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. That's the standout. Anglet - La Barre (river/jetty) is where you'll want to be. We've got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the northwest with a nice, long 11-second period. That's a proper groundswell with some push behind it. The combined energy is a solid 595, which is a strong, powerful event. The real kicker is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That'll make for some beautifully clean, peeling waves off the jetty. The swell direction's a perfect match for the optimum, too. It's great, but just a heads up, this spot is inconsistent, so you need to be patient. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The week before that, there's a couple of slim chances. On the morning of Tuesday the 21st, you'll see some tiny 3ft waves with glassy conditions, but it's pretty weak and the period is short. On the 28th of July, with the swell building to 5ft but the wind is onshore, so it's a bit messy. The real gem is that glassy morning on the 29th.
After that, the swell drops off again quickly into the start of August, so that Wednesday morning window is your one and only shot. Don't miss it.
