The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long gap of surf that’s just not worth paddling out for. From now right through until the 20th of August, it’s mostly tiny, weak swells with poor wind. Most mornings are dead glassy but with next to no energy, and the afternoons get chopped up by onshore breezes. This is one of those spells where you’re better off tuning your board or going for a long walk on the beach.
There is a tiny glimmer on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, with a glassy calm and some very small 2 ft NW swell, but the combined energy is just 50 (weak) and it’s barely surfable. Don’t get excited.
The main event, and the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, looks like it could be the morning of Friday the 21st of August. Anglet - Les Sables d'Or (Anglet) might finally see a pulse of life. We’ve got a 6 ft swell coming from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined wave energy hits a strong 475. That’s a big jump in energy. The wind will be a light cross-shore from the NNE at 6 mph, which should keep things reasonably clean. This break is exposed to the WSW. This is one to keep an eye on, but it’s over a week away so treat that as promising but not locked in. The Saturday following will still have some decent 4 ft leftovers, but with worse wind.
Before that, the morning of Thursday the 14th of August has a 2 ft swell with a longer 11-second period, but it’s onshore wind and the energy is still low at 116 (moderate). Nothing to write home about.
Water temp is sitting at 76° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit if anything does come together.
Hang in there. The second week has some potential, but it’s a waiting game right now.
