The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little patch of coast.
To start off, things are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a block of days with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a decent wave doesn’t show up until August 22nd, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. The swell energy is moderate at best, with the combined energy hitting 241 (moderate). The morning of the 22nd is the pick of a very average bunch, with a clean 4ft NW swell wrapping in at 9 seconds on an offshore easterly breeze. That’s a small wave, but it’ll be clean for a beginner or a longboard. The water is a tropical 77°F, which is 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like a bath out there.
The rest of the week is a write-off. Onshore winds, tiny swell, or messy conditions. The 23rd morning has a tiny 2ft swell with a short 7-second period and weak energy of 62 (weak), which is basically nothing. The 24th is glassy but with a 0.7ft swell, so you’d be floating.
We skip a few more poor days until August 28th Friday morning. The forecast shows a big 8ft WNW swell with a strong combined energy of 1236 (very strong), but it’s flagged as too big for this break. That’s expert territory only, and with a 9-second period, it’s going to be a washing machine. Not for the faint of heart.
The real standout doesn’t come until August 29th Saturday morning. This is the best on offer. The same Anglet – Marinella break gets a clean 5ft NW swell, with a solid 10-second period, and a light offshore ESE breeze. The combined energy is a solid 479 (moderate-strong). This is a fun, surfable size for a confident intermediate, and the conditions will be clean. The wind is just a slight air, so the surface will be smooth. This is the one to aim for.
Then on August 30th Sunday morning, we get another good window. A 5ft NW swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy from the east. The combined energy is 365 (moderate). It’s a smaller version of the day before, but glassy conditions make it a very pleasant session.
After that, September 1st Tuesday morning offers a clean 5ft NW swell with an 8-second period and glassy conditions, but the period is a bit short. The combined energy of 291 (moderate) is okay.
September 5th Saturday morning shows a 7ft WNW swell with a 10-second period, and the water is glassy calm. However, the combined energy is a chunky 804 (strong), and it’s flagged as potentially too big for this break. Again, that’s an expert-only wave, if it’s even rideable.
So, the best of the lot is August 29th, with a solid, clean swell and light winds. The 30th is a close second for a glassy, smaller session.
