Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’re lookin’ at a bit of a flat spell for Anglet - Marinella to kick things off, then a little bump of energy later on. The first proper surfable session is Thursday morning, August 6th, with some clean 3ft swell from the NW, period of 8 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy’s moderate at 126, but the conditions aren’t a standout—just ordinary. Still, it’s a goer. By Friday morning, August 7th, it drops right off to 2ft, but the wind goes glassy—dead calm—and that’s a rare treat for clean faces, even if the swell’s weak (energy only 56). Sunday morning, August 9th, we get another glassy session: 2ft NW swell at 10-second period, calm as, energy 64. That’s about it for the first week—nothin’ to write home about, just small, clean windows.

Now, the real interest is further out. Tuesday morning, August 18th, sees a big jump: 8ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, energy up at 893—that’s strong stuff. The wind’s a light cross-on, so small ripples, but the swell’s too big for this beginner-friendly break. Only experts should even think about it, and even then, it’s marginal. Wednesday morning, August 19th, settles a bit to 6ft NW, period 8 seconds, energy 389, with a cross breeze—still punchy but less intimidating. Monday morning, August 17th, also offers a window: 5ft WNW swell, 7-second period, energy 178, glassy calm. That’s a decent, clean session for the more confident surfers.

Best bet? Friday morning, August 7th, for the glassy, clean 2ft—it’ll be small but perfect for beginners and longboarders. Crowds are possible at this spot, so get in early. Water temp’s about average for the time of year—no anomaly flagged, so it’s what you’d expect. For the second week, the August 17th morning is the standout: glassy calm on a building 5ft swell, solid enough for a fun session without gettin’ spit out. Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
