The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a rough look for Anglet - La Madrague. We’re stuck in a funk with a lot of small, weak swell and onshore winds. The first real standout isn't until the Monday of the 10th of August.
For now, the first few days are a write-off. The morning of Tuesday the 28th of July is the only flicker of hope early on, with a clean 4ft NW swell and light offshore easterly breeze. The energy is moderate (362), but it’s a one-off blip before the wind swings around again. After that, we drop into a long, flat spell with messy, cross-onshore winds and swell barely cracking 2ft to 3ft. The water is sitting at a very unusual 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The real action, and the only true standout, is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. The wind goes glassy with a light NE breeze, and a solid 6ft WNW groundswell rolls in with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 661 (strong). That’s the kind of energy that gets the heart pumping. It’s a bit of a wait, but that morning is the one to circle.
Then, the very next morning, Tuesday the 11th of August, we get another beauty. The wind is dead calm and glassy, with a slightly bigger 6ft WNW swell and even more energy at 726. That is right in the sweet spot – powerful, clean, and begging for some early morning barrels. The best of the whole forecast.
The afternoon winds on both those days will chop it up, so make sure you’re on it at dawn. The rest of the second week is just small, weak leftovers.
So, to sum it up: it’s a long dry spell, but the 10th and 11th of August mornings are worth the wait. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
