The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf, nothing really worth paddling out for from Sunday the 19th right through to the end of the week. Just small, weak, onshore slop. Keep your board in the shed.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 27th of July. We’ve got a little pulse of swell rolling in – 2ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, so there’s a bit of groundswell energy there (101). The morning is looking glassy with zero wind, which is a massive plus for clean conditions. It’s only small, but it’s a start. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.
Now, the real standout I’m looking at is Wednesday the 29th of July. That morning at Anglet - Les Dunes is gonna be the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a solid 4ft of NW swell with a 10-second period, and the energy is strong, clocking in at (384). The wind is glassy, coming from the NE at just 3 mph. That’s going to set up some clean, fun, lined-up waves. A superb morning for a surf.
That quality carries into Thursday the 30th of July, another morning with 4ft NW swell, glassy conditions, and strong energy (348). Another top-notch session, but the Wednesday morning is the real stand-out. The swell direction is a good match for the break, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting forever for a set.
Looking further out, Saturday the 1st of August sees a bump in size to 5ft from the NW, but the conditions are a bit more marginal with onshore winds. The combined energy is strong (437), but the quality isn’t quite there. A wave for the more experienced, but not the best of the week.
Then, Sunday the 2nd of August, we’re back in the game. Another morning with 5ft of NW swell (433) and that magic word: glassy. The wind is light from the NE at 3 mph. This is a promising long-range option, but you know how it is, keep an eye on it as it gets closer. The first week of August is looking like a decent run.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a total dud. The best surf on offer is Wednesday the 29th of July, with Thursday the 30th and Sunday the 2nd of August as close runners-up. Get out there for those glassy mornings.
Rusty.
