The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
Anglet - La Barre is looking pretty quiet to start. The first week is mostly small, weak swell with poor afternoon winds. The water is sitting at 76°F with a +5°F anomaly, so it’s much warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice bonus if you’re just out for a paddle.
The best window comes on Thursday morning, 20th August. You’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the NW with a long 12-second period, light offshore wind from the E, and moderate combined swell energy at 136. That long period groundswell will work well with the river/jetty setup, shaping up nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so not too heavy, and the morning glass will keep it clean. It’s inconsistent, and crowds are possible, so get there early.
The next morning, Friday 21st August, is also worth a look. Another clean morning with 4ft NW swell, 9-second period, and light offshore wind from the ENE. Energy is moderate at 183. Still a beginner wave, so manageable, but the bigger size makes it a bit more fun. Afternoons get cross-onshore and choppy, so don’t wait.
A few other mornings have glassy conditions and small surf, like 17th August (2ft NW, 9s, 92 energy) and 18th August (3ft NNW, 6s, 131 energy), but the short period on the 18th will make it feel weak. The 19th August morning has 3ft NW, 8s, 138 energy and glassy wind, but again, the period is short.
The real standout is Thursday 20th August morning. That’s your best shot for a clean, long-period swell with offshore wind. The rest of the window is mostly small, onshore afternoons, so make it a dawn patrol.
This is Rusty, signing off.
