The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got on the cards for Anglet-Marinella over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it’s a slow start. We don’t see any real surf to get excited about until the 27th of August, and even then, it’s pretty average before things start to come together. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might want a thinner suit.
The best window is kicking off on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. It’s glassy with an offshore breeze from the ESE, 0 mph, and we’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is solid at (338), and this is the first real standout. It’s surfing well, and the conditions are there for a proper session.
We get another good morning on Monday the 31st of August—glassy with a light W wind at 3 mph, and a clean 5ft NW swell at 9 seconds. The energy is strong at (307). Then on Tuesday the 1st of September, another glassy morning with an ENE breeze, 5ft swell from the WNW, and energy up to (457). That’s a good run of clean mornings.
But the one that really catches the eye is Tuesday the 8th of September. On the morning, we’ve got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE, 3 mph, with a 4ft swell from the WNW and a very long period of 19 seconds. The combined energy is pumping at (1187). This is proper groundswell, and the long period means it’ll wrap in nice and clean, with good shape and power. The afternoon holds 5ft at 17 seconds, energy at (1555), but a cross-shore wind may put a little wrinkle on it. That morning session, though, looks exceptional—definitely one to mark in the diary. This is best for experienced surfers, as the swell will be solid and the long period demands some respect.
Crowds are sometimes an issue at Marinella, especially when it’s good, so be ready to share the peak. It’s a consistent spot, which is a good sign for the region.
After that, the surf tails off into smaller, less clean conditions, so make the most of that first week of September.
Right, that’s your lot. Keep the wax warm.
