The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about it. Rusty here. I've been reading the ocean's mood for the next couple weeks, and honestly, it's been a bit of a snoozefest to start.
We got a little sliver of hope on Thursday, August 20th. Water's warm, around `77°F`, which is a couple degrees toastier than usual for this time of year. The wind is dead calm in the morning, making the water glassy, with a small but clean `2ft` wave from the northwest. The energy is pretty weak, around `91`, so it's not gonna be a classic, but you could get a couple of fun ones on the longboard if you're keen.
After that, the ocean just falls asleep. For days we're looking at tiny, short-period junk from the north-northwest, all chop and wind. It’s pretty grim until around Friday, August 21st, when the swell bumps up a little to about `4ft`, but it's onshore and messy. Nothing to write home about.
Now, the one that's got my heart racing is way out there. On Thursday morning, August 27th, the stars align. A proper swell from the northwest at around `5ft` is forecast, and the wind is light offshore from the east-southeast. The energy is a solid `379`, a massive jump from the weak stuff we've seen. This is the obvious standout. Anglet - Les Dunes is going to be firing, clean and lined up, with the swell direction perfectly matching what the spot needs.
That afternoon it backs off a touch to `5ft` but stays clean, but the morning is the time to be in the water.
But hold on. The ocean likes to mess with us. Friday, August 28th and Saturday, August 29th see a big swell, hitting `8ft` and then `10ft`, but it's accompanied by a brutal onshore wind, blowing 30-35 km/h. The energy readings are huge, well over `1200` and then `3500`, but the surf is going to be a washed-out, onshore wreck. That's a kite-surfing session, not a paddle-surfing one. At that size with that wind, it's a serious, expert-only situation, and even then, it’s going to be ugly.
So here’s the game plan: the next week is mostly for resting. If you're desperate, that Thursday the 20th might give you a few, but the real jewel is the morning of the 27th. It's a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed, but that's the one.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
