Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming for Anglet - Marinella over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a rough run. Things kick off on Sunday the 12th with some waist-high, messy 2ft swell from the WNW and a cross-on breeze, but the water temp is sitting at a very unusual 76°F, a full 7°F warmer than normal for the time of year. Nice for a swim, not for a wave. The combined energy is a weak 56, and the surf is just poor.
Monday the 13th morning is the closest thing to a bright spot early on. The swell picks up a touch to 4ft from the NW with a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is a moderate 111, and while it’s “surfable,” it’s still described as very ordinary. That glassy moment is a major positive for clean conditions, but the waves themselves are pretty average. After that, from Monday afternoon right through to the end of the first week, it’s a long run of tiny, choppy, or onshore junk. Swell heights hover between 1ft and 3ft, mostly with cross-on winds, and the combined energy rarely breaks past 56.
There’s a bit of a pulse arriving on Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd of July, with swell building to 5ft from the NW and combined energy jumping into the strong range – 167 to 269. But the wind stays cross-on or onshore, and every single session is labelled as poor surf. You’d be fighting a choppy mess.
By Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July, the swell gets solid – 5ft to 7ft from the NW with a moderate period of 9 to 10 seconds, and the combined energy surges to a very strong 430 and even 745. That’s a lot of water moving. But again, it’s all onshore wind from the W or WNW at 12 mph, and the surf quality is still rated poor. At 7ft, that’s expert-only territory, and with the wind howling, the setup here at a beach break looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The Friday the 24th afternoon session gets a “marginal” nod, but that’s about it for the whole run.
Up to the weekend of the 26th and 27th, the swell fades back under 3ft, and the winds stay cross-on or onshore. There’s just no good window for a clean, quality wave.
So, the one standout? You’d have to pin hopes on that glassy Monday morning on the 13th of July. With 4ft NW swell and glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and uncrowded if you get out early, just don’t expect any power or push. Everything else in this 16-day window is a write-off for a decent paddle.
