The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - Marinella over the next couple of weeks.
The water’s sitting at a balmy 77°F, which is a good 6°F warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly, feels more like a tropical bath than the Bay of Biscay.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first real winnable session comes on Saturday morning, August 22nd. We’ve got a clean 4 ft NW groundswell (9 sec period) pushin’ in with a light offshore easterly breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 241, and it’s gonna be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size, but the wind is proper offshore, so it’ll be a fun little session for anyone wanting to get wet.
The standout window, and the one I’m getting excited about, is Thursday morning, August 27th. The swell jumps to a solid 5 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, but the real news is the glassy conditions. Absolutely no wind, dead flat water. The energy jumps to moderate at 378, and this is the best quality you’ll see in the whole outlook. Clean, punchy, and with the offshore wind state, it’s going to be a proper morning.
Now, Friday the 28th is a weird one. There’s a big 10 ft WNW swell (11 sec period) with a massive combined energy of 2337, but it’s too big for this spot. The wind is also cross-onshore. This is strictly for experts only, and honestly, even then, it’s going to be a messy, dangerous close-out. For the average surfer, this is a day to watch from the beach.
After that, the swell backs off into the second week. There are a few morning windows with glassy conditions (like September 1st, 3rd, and 4th), but the waves are small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, with low energy (around 58 to 123). They’re surfable, but you’ll be working for a waist-high wave.
So, to wrap it up: Thursday morning, August 27th is the one to circle on the calendar. That’s your best shot at clean, fun waves. The Saturday morning (August 22nd) is a decent fallback. The rest of the run is mostly small and messy.
Rusty.
