Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty again. Let’s break down the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour for you imperial folks. Anglet – Marinella is running way warmer than usual – water temp about 77°F, a big anomaly of 4° above average – so that’s a treat. But the surf? Gotta wait.

From Tuesday 14th July through the end of that first week, it’s all poor. Tiny waves, messy wind, no juice. Even on Thursday 16th morning when it goes glassy, the swell is only 2ft with weak energy – not worth suiting up. That dry spell runs until Monday 20th July morning. That day we get a little pulse: 2ft from the north, period 5 seconds, energy 46, with a light offshore breeze from the east-northeast. It’s surfable but ordinary – you’ll get wet but don’t expect fireworks.

Then it’s back to poor conditions for several more days. The swell tries to pick up Thursday 23rd with 4ft from the northwest, period 8 seconds, energy 136, but the wind is cross-on or onshore the whole time – messy. That continues through the weekend – a bit more size but no quality.

Now the real standout: Monday 27th July morning. Swell hits 6ft out of the northwest, period 11 seconds, combined energy a chunky 726. And the wind? Dead calm, glassy – north at 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. The waves will have push, but with a longer period groundswell on a beachbreak, they might close out a bit. Still, this is your best shot. If you’re comfortable in overhead conditions, go for it.

Tuesday 28th is less clean, but Wednesday 29th morning brings another glassy dawn: 5ft from the northwest, period 9 seconds, energy 433, with no wind. That’s almost as good as Monday. Both afternoons get choppy, so get out early.

Wrap-up: first week and a half are a bust. But that Monday 27th and Wednesday 29th mornings are the real deals. Don’t sleep on ’em.

Rusty.
