The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and look at what's coming up.
The next week and a half is a total bust. From July 14th all the way to the morning of July 23rd, we're looking at a surf drought. Tiny, weak, choppy junk that’s not worth the walk down the sand. The wave energy is in the low double digits (8), which is about as weak as it gets. The water is a bath-like 77°, almost 8° above normal for this time of year, which is nuts.
The first sign of life comes on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd at Anglet - Les Sables d'Or. It’s a tiny 2ft swell from the northwest with a short 6-second period, but the wind is a light offshore breeze from the northeast. That makes it clean, and the combined energy bumps up a bit (40), but it's still a very small, ordinary wave. A log day, nothing more.
Things get a little more interesting on the morning of Friday, July 24th. The swell is still small at 2ft from the NW, but the period jumps to 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with the combined energy hitting 316. The wind is light from the NNW, keeping it reasonably clean. This long-period swell could offer a few longer, more powerful lines if the sandbar is right, but it might be a bit straight. It's a marginal call.
The big standout is the weekend of July 26th. On Saturday, July 26th morning, we’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with an 11-second period. The combined energy is roaring at 1018. The wind is howling onshore from the west at 15 mph, which is a real shame. That’s a big, powerful, messy wave – over 8ft and too big for beginners, only for the experts who can handle the chop. The afternoon is the same story with 7ft from the NW and onshore wind.
Looking further ahead, the morning of Tuesday, July 29th shows a 5ft NW swell with glassy, calm wind. That's about as clean as it gets. The combined energy is 382 – solid and moderate. This is the best-looking window in the whole forecast, but it's a long way off. The quality is good, but the sets will be powerful.
So, in short: the first ten days are a write-off. The best bet is the morning of the 29th for a clean, solid wave, but it's a long-range guess. The 24th might offer a small, long-period surprise.
