The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s on offer here for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty poor stretch overall for the Basque Country side of things. The swell is tiny, the wind is often a problem, and what little wave energy we get just doesn’t line up. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap before we get a sniff of anything worthwhile.
The first real chance to even paddle out comes on the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s almost a full week of waiting with nothing but flat or blown-out junk. On Tuesday morning, we’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the ENE at 3 mph and a small 3 ft swell from the northwest, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 208 – not exactly pumping, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The water is a toasty 77°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual – way warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The morning of Wednesday the 29th of July is another brief window. Glassy conditions with a light N wind at 3 mph, and a 3 ft NW swell, period 9 seconds. The energy is weaker at 123, but it’s glassy, so it’ll be fun on a log or a fish. The waves will be pretty ordinary though.
Frankly, that’s it. The standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday morning session on the 28th. The swell is small, around 3 ft, but the ENE wind is cross-off, so Anglet-Marinella will be clean and not too crowded. The swell direction is from the NW, which isn’t the optimum W direction, but it’s the best we’ve got. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off – mostly onshore winds, tiny swell, or blown-out conditions. A few mornings towards the end of the first week of August look glassy, but the swell is too small to get excited about.
If you’re a kitesurfer, late July brings some strong onshore winds and building swell, with Saturday the 25th of July showing a 6 ft to 8 ft swell from the WNW and fresh onshore wind. That’s a kite session, not a paddle session.
So, a long wait for a couple of clean, small mornings. The second week looks even quieter. Don’t hold your breath.
