The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this stretch is a long, flat wait. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until next week, so don't bother checking the boards just yet.

Wednesday 5th August kicks off with tiny, weak slop at Anglet - Les Dunes. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds and the combined energy is just 47 – that’s weak. Even though Wednesday morning is glassy, it’s just not enough push to do anything with. The rest of the week is a write-off; the swell stays under 3ft with periods dipping as low as 5 seconds and energy staying below 100. There’s a lot of cross-on wind blowing it out, so save your wax.

We do get a little pulse of energy on Thursday 6th August morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 126 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’ll look tidy. It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The afternoon turns to junk with a 9 mph cross-on.

Friday 7th August morning is another tease. The swell drops back to 3ft, but the wind goes totally glassy – dead calm. It’ll be pretty as a postcard out there, but the swell period is only 7 seconds, energy is 66, and it just doesn't have the grunt. Afternoon gets messy again.

The rest of the first week is a total gap of poor surf. We get a few mornings with light offshore or glassy wind, but the swell is tiny – often under 2ft – with periods under 10 seconds. It’s not worth a paddle.

Things get interesting but tricky later. On Sunday 16th August, we see a jump in energy with a 4ft swell from the NW and a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 299 (moderate). The morning wind is a light onshore from the W at 6 mph, so it’ll be bumpy. It’s marginal at best.

The standout, if you're an experienced charger, is Monday 18th August. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. That’s big – only for experts. The combined energy is a strong 905 (moderate to strong energy). The morning is onshore from the W at 6 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. The afternoon is cross-on. This is powerful but messy; the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the size and the wind.

Tuesday 19th August drops slightly to 7ft from the NW with a longer period of 11 seconds. The energy is very strong at 1089. Again, this is expert-only territory. The morning is onshore from the WSW at 6 mph.

That Thursday morning, 20th August, is a last look. The swell drops to 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds and energy of 196 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the NW at 3 mph. It’ll be clean, but the energy is weak and the period is short. Surfable, but nothing special.

So, the long and short of it: this is a quiet spell with one big, gnarly window in the middle of the second week. For most of us, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
