The Lowdown
Imperial version:
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's in store for Anglet - La Barre over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Wednesday, the 26th of August, we've got tiny 1ft waves from the NW with a weak 10-second period. The combined energy is only 33, so it's barely a ripple. The water is a balmy 76°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real standout. But there's just no surf to enjoy it on.
We get a small bump on Thursday the 27th morning, with 3ft waves and a short 8-second period, but the conditions are just ordinary. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 3ft, and the energy ticks up to 103, still nothing to write home about. Friday the 28th is a mess with onshore wind ruining the 4ft to 6ft swell.
Now, there's a glimmer on Saturday the 29th morning. The swell is 6ft from the NW with a 9-second period, combined energy at 481 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is offshore and light from the east. The report says "expect good surf conditions" and it's clean. That's the best morning of the first week. The afternoon gets cross-shore and messy, so get in early.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are a mixed bag. Monday morning is glassy with 6ft swell and 470 energy, so that's another clean session to aim for. The afternoons are consistently spoiled by cross-onshore winds.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning has that glassy feel again, with 4ft swell from the WNW and a 10-second period. The energy is 364. Good surf, but not a standout. The rest of the first week settles into a pattern of small, average waves with poor afternoon winds.
The second week is a bit of a waiting game. Thursday the 3rd of September morning has clean, offshore wind with 3ft swell, but it's not enough to get excited about. The week basically fades out with small, weak waves and onshore winds.
The one true standout is the glassy, offshore morning of Saturday the 29th of August. That 6ft, clean swell with the easterly wind will be the pick of the period. Monday the 31st morning is a close second. The rest of the time, you're looking at small, ordinary waves. The river/jetty setup here is inconsistent, so a blank run isn't unusual. For the first few days, it's just not worth paddling out.
Rusty, signing off.
