The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, it's Rusty. It's been a while since we've had a proper swell, and this outlook is a bit of a mixed bag for the next 16 days. We're looking at Anglet - Les Dunes, and while the vibe is correct, the ocean is playing hard to get. The water is a balmy 75° right now, which is 5° warmer than usual, so it feels like a bath out there, but that's where the fun stops for a while.

We kick off Monday the 3rd of August, and it's a flat start. Tiny 1.0ft waves from the WNW with a weak 10-second period. The energy is almost non-existent at 30, and it's messy with a cross-on breeze. Honestly, it's a day for the beach, not the board. There's nothing to ride. This quiet spell hangs around for a few days. Tuesday and Wednesday are the same story – tiny, weak, and mostly choppy. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things messy.

We get a little flicker of hope on Thursday morning the 6th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW, and the energy gets a bit more interesting at 125. The wind goes glassy early, which is a major positive. The waves are still weak and a bit ordinary, but that glassy window makes it the best option in a very poor run. It's not a standout, just the least ugly.

The next week, from the 7th to the 13th, is a real drag. The swell stays below 3ft, and the period is short, often dropping to 6 or 7 seconds. The energy is weak, mostly bouncing between 24 and 95. The morning glass-offs are few and far between, and by the afternoon, the wind ruins it again. Thursday morning the 13th is a real low point, with a 2ft swell from the WNW with a period of only 4 seconds – that's pure wind chop.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th of August sees a bit of a lift, with the swell pushing 5ft from the NW. The energy is moderate at 154 to 161, but the wind is still cross-on and light, leaving the surface bumpy. It's a frustrating size, big enough to be interesting but too messy for a good session. The period is also short at 6 seconds, so it's not going to be a clean, lined-up wave.

The final few days, the 17th and 18th, the swell drops back down to 3ft, but the period on the 17th looks promising at 11 seconds. Unfortunately, the wind is onshore, and the energy is moderate at 173, but the conditions are still described as poor. The lack of clean, offshore wind is the killer here.

So, what's the pick? Honestly, there isn't a true standout in this whole 16-day window. The consistent story is poor surf conditions. The best bet, if you're desperate, is the glassy window on Thursday morning the 6th of August. It's a small wave, but it's clean. For the rest of the run, it's a waiting game. The swell is too small, the wind is too tricky, and the energy is just not there. It's a tough stretch for paddling – the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.

Keep your eyes on the charts, lads. Things can change, but for now, it's a frustrating time on the beach.

Rusty.
