The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – for the next 16 days at Anglet - La Barre, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is a real bummer, with no standout sessions and most days offering poor surf conditions. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual and feels like a bath.
The first week, from Friday the 17th through to Saturday the 26th of July, is a total write-off. We're looking at tiny swell almost the entire time, mostly under 3ft, with a lot of cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions. The swell energy is weak, with values hanging around the 18 to 94 mark. On Sunday the 26th, the swell picks up to 5ft to 6ft from the NW, with moderate energy (267 to 400), but it's still cross-onshore and choppy, so it's messy and messy only.
The second week brings a little more hope, but it's still not great. Monday the 27th of July has 4ft NW swell (9 seconds) with moderate energy (309), but the wind is cross-onshore and it's a marginal call. The only real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning session shows 3ft NW swell (8 seconds) with clean conditions and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is moderate (127). It's small, but it's the cleanest it's going to get. For a spot that's usually inconsistent, that Tuesday morning might be worth a look if you're desperate for a knee-high runner.
After that, it's back to onshore wind and poor surf right through to the 1st of August. The swell stays around 3ft to 4ft from the NW, with moderate energy (200 to 338), but the wind is never friendly. There's a long period (12-second) NW swell on the morning of the 29th, but it's coming straight onshore – that's a real shame, as a longer period swell like that would be better suited to a point or reef, not a river/jetty setup like this.
Overall, it's a blank run. There's just nothing to get excited about here. The forecast can always change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
