The Lowdown
A'ight, grab a coffee, surfers. This one is quiet.
Alright, let's look at the next few weeks at Anglet - Les Dunes. Honestly, this is a tough stretch for the blokes on the sand here. The first week is a write-off with poor conditions due to the wind. It's not until the tail-end of the first week that we see a proper window.
The best bet in the whole outlook shapes up for the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. That morning, we’ve got a clean, offshore easterly breeze blowing at 6 mph, grooming up a 4 ft swell from the northwest. The combined swell energy is moderate at 305, and that clean wind is a major positive – it’ll be the most rideable it gets, though the swell is a little short-period at 10 seconds. It’s a great window for beginners or anyone wanting a smoother session.
The next decent chance is the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. It’s tiny with only 3 ft from the northwest, and it’s a long-period swell (139 energy), but the wind drops to glassy – that dead-calm, silky water. It’ll be surfable, but a bit ordinary with the size. A morning for a longboard if anything.
From there, the water temp is really standing out. At *Anglet - Les Dunes*, it’s 77°F, which is a huge 7° warmer than normal for late July. That’s very unusual – feels like you’re surfing in the tropics.
After the 30th, it all gets pretty grim again. We can chalk the first week of August up as a blank run – a few days of glassy or clean but tiny 2 ft-3 ft slop. Nothing gets above a marginal rating. It’s a classic summer lull for this area; it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s quiet.
Forget the afternoon sessions. They’re all cross-onshore or onshore, choppy, and poor. Stick to the early mornings if you’re going to bother.
I'd say the Tuesday the 28th morning is the standout, with the Wednesday the 29th morning as a backup for the surf-starved crew.
