The Lowdown
Alright, here’s the long and short of it. We’re in for a pretty flat and grovelly stretch for the next week and a half. There’s a big gap with almost nothing on offer until we get to the 21st. You’re going to need a whole lot of patience if you’re itching to get wet.
The only real window for anything halfway decent is the morning of Friday, August 21st. The swell is still small, right around 3ft, coming out of the northwest. The saving grace is a light offshore breeze that will keep it glassy and clean. The energy is still on the weaker side, but it’ll be the best shape you’ll see for days. Head to Anglet - Les Dunes (Aquitaine). The water is a warm 76°, which is well above average for this time of year, so you won’t need the thick rubber.
The rest of the time before that is a write-off. Swell heights stay mostly below 3ft with short, weak periods and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds messing things up. There are some glassy mornings on the 11th and 15th, but the waves are just too small and weak to be worth the effort.
Now, if you’re willing to wait it out, the morning of Saturday, August 22nd is the one with all the grunt. The swell comes up to 5ft from the northwest with a much longer 11-second period, and the energy goes through the roof. But, here’s the catch – the wind is going to be cranking onshore at 25 mph. It’s going to blow the place apart. The afternoon is worse, with the wind ramping up to 31 mph. This is expert-only, and even then, it'll be a battle. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, mark the 21st on your calendar for a clean, small-wave session. The 22nd has the size but the wind is going to ruin any chance of quality. Be patient. Rusty out.
