The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming our way.
The first few days are a total write-off, so don’t even bother until Thursday the 17th. There’s a gap of nothing then we get some action.
The big one is Saturday the 19th at Anglet - La Madrague (Anglet-Madrague). We’ve got a 7ft swell from the northwest, with a very long 13-second period. That’s real groundswell, and with a combined energy of 1514, it’s packing some serious power. The wind is light offshore from the east at just 3 mph, keeping the surface clean. This one’s for experienced surfers only as it’s over 8ft. The crowds are only sometimes there, so you might find a bit of space. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°F, which is over 4°F above average.
Thursday the 17th morning is also a good shout. Swell is 6ft from the northwest with an 11-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm from the northwest at 3 mph. Combined energy is 663, moderate but the clean conditions make it very surfable. The afternoon gets choppy, so get out early.
Sunday the 20th morning, Monday the 21st morning, and Tuesday the 22nd morning all have glassy conditions with offshore or calm winds. Swell holds around 4ft to 5ft from the northwest with a long 12-second period. These are solid, clean options for intermediate surfers, though the afternoon winds do turn cross-onshore and ruin it.
By the second week, the swell fades. Wednesday the 23rd morning is small at 2ft with glassy conditions, but it’s very ordinary. Friday the 25th morning sees a bump back to 4ft from the northwest with a 12-second period and calm winds, giving a bit of hope, then it drops off again. The final few days from the 27th to the 29th are flat and onshore – not worth the effort.
Saturday the 19th is your best bet. Get on it early for the cleanest waves.
Rusty.
