Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Anglet - Marinella. I gotta be straight with you, the next 16 days are a bit of a tough watch. There’s a big gap of nothing happening, so don't rush.

We’re looking at a long stretch starting from the 7th of July right through until the morning of the 11th where the surf is just poor. Real poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. That’s almost a full four days of flat, messy conditions. Don’t bother.

The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday, 11th July. We’ve got a little 2ft swell from the NW, and the real hook is the wind coming from the ENE at 3 mph. That’s offshore, clean. The combined energy is a moderate 111, which is something. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Don’t expect barrels, just a few little left-handers to get wet on. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual, so that’s a nice treat. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

The next little window is the morning of Sunday, 12th July. Still a tiny 2ft from the NW, but the wind goes glassy from the east at 3 mph. Glassy. The swell energy is back down to 81, so it’s weak. It’s a clean, pretty morning for a longboard or a foamie, but nothing to plan a trip around.

After that, it’s back to the poor stuff. The wind picks up onshore again, and the swell gets a little bigger but messier. On the 13th, we see a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s just a choppy, bumpy mess. The combined energy reaches 131, which is moderate, but it’s not going to be fun.

The only other moment that catches my eye is the morning of Wednesday, 22nd July. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW, and the wind is glassy again from the NNE. The energy is moderate at 58. It’s the last chance for a clean, small wave session before the wind messes it up again in the afternoon. That’s a good 8 days away, so keep an eye on it.

The standout here? Honestly, there isn’t a true standout. If I had to pick one, it’s the morning of Saturday, 11th July for the offshore wind and the first bit of surfable energy, or the morning of Sunday, 12th July for the glassy conditions. Both are tiny, but they’re the best of a quiet bunch.

For the rest of the time, with the wind often onshore and the swell weak, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a bit of a flat spell, mate.
