The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Been staring at the charts for our local stretch and it’s a tough beat to call. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead before anything gets moving. The water’s sitting at a balmy 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you might not even need a spring suit for the first session.
Right now, from Wednesday the 12th through Monday the 24th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is a mess – either blowing onshore or straight cross-on. The wave energy is weak, barely hitting 100 (69), and everything is tagged as “poor surf conditions.” There’s a lot of waiting around and staring at flat, choppy water. Even a morning of glass on the 19th only gives us 1ft of dribble – not worth paddling out for.
We finally get a real chance on Tuesday the 25th. The morning looks like the standout of the whole 16-day run. Anglet - Les Dunes will have a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a 9-second period and glassy, offshore winds from the East at just 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to a decent 216, and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s not going to be heavy, but it’ll be clean, fun, and uncrowded. The swell direction is a solid match for the break’s preferred W exposure.
After that, Wednesday the 26th morning has a little 3ft offering with clean offshore winds again, but the energy is way down (101). It’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. Then the window closes again with more onshore junk and building, messy swell into the 27th – that 8ft later in the day is a beast for experts, but the onshore wind will make it a washing machine.
Forget the first couple of weeks. The only true standout is that Tuesday morning the 25th at Anglet - Les Dunes. Set your alarm.
