The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at your local surf forecast. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of minimal swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water is sitting at 77°F and is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is honestly very unusual.
For the first 10 days, from Wednesday the 15th through to Friday the 24th of July, the swell is tiny. We’re talking ankle to knee-high at best, with a weak combined energy reading mostly under 100 (24-91). The wind is a problem, too – mostly onshore from the west or cross-onshore from the northwest. Even on Saturday the 18th, when the morning turns glassy, the swell is only 2ft and holds no energy. It’s basically a flat spell. There’s no surf to recommend, just a whole lot of waiting.
The swell finally tries to show up on Saturday the 25th of July, but it’s a mess. We get a 7ft swell from the west-northwest with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 361, which is moderate. But the wind is a moderate onshore breeze from the west, and the report just says “poor surf conditions.” That’s a no-go for a beginner spot like Anglet - Les Dunes – that size is too big for learners, and the wind will chop it up bad.
The days after that drop back down to small, weak, and messy. Sunday the 26th shows 4ft from the northwest, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy again. The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 30th of July, drops to 0.7ft with a long period of 10 seconds, but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, there’s no standout window here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the glassy morning of the 18th or the 28th, but you’ll be on a longboard chasing a dribble. The forecast is poor, and it’s a long blank run. Let’s hope something changes, but for now, the beach is for sunbathing.
Rusty.
