The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for our local stretch of sand.
Overall, the outlook is pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a real lean spell coming. There’s a tiny window of clean surf on Tuesday morning, but after that, it’s a long, dry stretch with hardly anything to get excited about. The first real chance to get the board wet isn’t until later on.
Anglet - Les Dunes is the only spot on the cards. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so the wettie will feel normal.
The first surfable session comes on Monday 27 July morning, but honestly, it’s a bit of a mess. You’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (352). The wind is cross from the NNW at 6 mph, making for a bumpy, rippled surface. It’s pretty marginal.
Tuesday 28 July morning is the standout, and it’s the only decent window in the near term. The wind swings offshore from the E at a light 3 mph, which is a major positive – it’ll be clean. Swell is a modest 4ft from the NW, period 10 seconds (moderate energy at 362). That’s a solid, rideable wave for a beginner-friendly break like this. It’s not big, but it’ll be fun and clean. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s not a zoo.
From Tuesday afternoon onward, the forecast turns ugly. The wind goes onshore or cross-on, and the swell drops right off. By Wednesday the 29th, we’re down to 3ft with a poor onshore wind, and the energy plummets. The rest of the week and into the first week of August is a dusty run of tiny, weak, and choppy conditions. There are a few glassy mornings on 4 August (Tuesday) and 7 August (Friday) and 8 August (Saturday), but the swell is tiny – 1ft or 1.0ft – with next to no energy (80, 31, and 12 respectively). These are flat spells, not surf sessions.
The long-range outlook doesn’t save us either. The next sniff of a wave might come on 11 August (Tuesday morning) with a 4ft swell from the NNW and glassy offshore wind from the WNW at 3 mph, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is low (114). It’s surfable, but only just. That’s a long, long wait from Tuesday next week.
So, to sum it up: Tuesday morning (28 July) is your best bet. It’s the only clean, offshore session with enough push to get a few rides. Everything else is either blown out or flat. Don’t expect much, and if you can, get out early on Tuesday.
Rusty.
