The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here with the local outlook.
It's a mixed picture for the next couple of weeks. Some decent size on the way, but the wind's going to be a real issue at times. The water is unseasonably warm, about three degrees above normal at 77°F, so ditch the thick rubber.
The first proper window to get wet kicks off on Saturday, August 22nd, first thing. Anglet - Les Dunes has a 4ft NW swell with a clean easterly offshore wind. The energy is moderate. It's a fairly consistent spot, and you might see a few others out there. A solid option for beginners and anyone wanting a clean wave after a few days of nothing.
From there, the swell fizzles out. Sunday and most of the following week are a write-off, with only tiny, wind-affected slop to be found.
The real standout is further out, on Saturday, August 29th. It's a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed, but it looks like the goods. We're talking a clean 6ft NW swell, nearly glassy with a light southerly breeze. That’s a proper, powerful wall of water. The period is 10 seconds, which is fine for a beach break. This one is for the more experienced crew.
The mornings on Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are still okay, with 4-5ft waves and clean conditions, but that Saturday is the target.
The start of September looks average again, with a messy slop of onshores and declining swell. So, keep your powder dry for that last Saturday of the month.
Rusty.
