The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for the Anglet - Les Dunes stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a tough slog. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any worthwhile surf. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, it’s mostly small, weak, and onshore. There’s a little bump of energy on Saturday the 25th with swell hitting 6 ft to 8 ft from the WNW, but with a fresh onshore wind and a period of only 7 to 8 seconds, it’s just not going to stack up. The combined energy might look punchy (244 to 604), but it’s a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth your time.
You’ll see a few mornings with small, clean-ish conditions – like the morning of Tuesday the 28th – but the swell is tiny (4 ft) and the energy is weak (188). That’s a “look but don’t rush” kind of day.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window, is Monday, the 3rd of August. That morning, the stars finally align. We’ve got a glassy, offshore wind from the WNW, with a clean 3 ft swell coming from the NNW. The period is a solid 9 seconds, giving the waves a bit of shape, and the combined energy is a moderate 216. This is a proper long-range promise, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s the best shot we’ve got. The water is a toasty 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a summer bath.
After that Monday morning window, the surf drops off again into tiny, onshore nonsense for the rest of the run. The consistency at Les Dunes is fairly consistent, so it’s unusual to see such a long gap, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely.
Rusty out.
