Anglet - Les Sables d'Or Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the 16-day picture for Anglet - Les Sables d'Or.

Alright, let’s be straight with you. This is a tough one. The truth is, the whole 16-day run is a real struggle. There’s no standout session, no day where everything clicks. It’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with a few windows of just "surfable" waves that are very ordinary. You’d be chasing scraps.

The first real chance to get wet is on Sunday the 5th of July. The morning has a tiny 2ft NW swell with a long period of 11 seconds, which is a groundswell. The combined energy is weak (133). The wind is a light cross-off from the NE at 3 mph, which keeps the surface clean. But the waves are just too small to get excited about. The water is 74°, which is a massive 7° warmer than average for this time of year – very unusual, you’d be swimming in bathwater.

Monday the 6th offers a similar story in the morning. A 2ft NW swell, period dropping to 9 seconds, and cross-off wind from the E at 6 mph. Clean again, but still tiny with weak energy (52).

After that, we hit a massive gap. From Tuesday the 7th all the way through to Saturday the 12th, the forecast is just wave after wave of poor conditions. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 10th morning where it goes glassy with a 2ft WNW swell, but the energy is weak (60) and the wind is from the E at 3 mph. It’s clean but not worth a paddle.

Sunday the 12th morning is our next peek. A 2ft NW swell with a 10-second period and glassy conditions thanks to a 3 mph NNW wind. The combined energy hits moderate (113). It’s still small, but it’s the cleanest the water will look in a while.

Monday the 13th morning is similar with a 3ft NW swell, glassy, but the energy is still moderate (97). The onshore winds start to ruin the afternoons again.

Then things get a bit bigger, but not better. Tuesday the 14th brings a 4ft NW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is onshore from the NW at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (166), but it’s a messy, unappealing wall of water.

The last chance is on Friday the 17th of July, but it’s a washout. A 4ft NW swell with 9 mph onshore wind. The energy is up to 215, but it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. The weekend of the 18th and 19th is the same story – onshore wind and poor surf.

Honestly, for a beach break like this, with the wind and the small, short-period swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only positive is that it’s a fairly consistent spot, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, but this forecast is a blank run.

Rusty, signing out.
