The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Anglet - Marinella are looking pretty flat and frustrating. The wave energy is barely registering, and we’re staring down the barrel of a long, quiet spell.
Right now, on Wednesday the 15th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a weak period of just 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 24. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is onshore and gusty, making it even messier. The water is sitting at 76.8°, which is a massive 7.9° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, feels like a warm bath.
The outlook doesn't improve much through the rest of the week. We’re looking at a string of days with tiny, weak swell. Saturday morning the 18th offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a 1.6ft NW swell, but with only 20 in combined energy, it’s hard to get excited. The swell is too small and short-period to do anything meaningful.
The first real glimmer of hope comes around Monday the 20th, when the swell bumps up to 3.6ft from the NNW, and the combined energy jumps to 111 (moderate). But it’s still an onshore wind, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a mushy, bumpy mess.
Late in the second week, on Saturday the 25th, we see the biggest swell of the whole period. A 6.6ft WNW swell rolls in with a combined energy of 361 (strong). The problem? The wind is onshore and strong at 12 mph, which is going to chop it up. This is a big, powerful swell for a beach break, but with the wind all over it, it’ll be a battle. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, not a clean groundswell.
Honestly, across the whole 16 days, nothing is a true standout. The conditions are just too poor for any decent paddle surfing. The combination of small, weak swell, onshore winds, and short periods means you’re better off looking for other things to do. If you’re into kite surfing, the setup on the 25th with that 6.6ft swell and strong wind will be far more interesting.
