The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Anglet-Marinella stretch.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. The first few days are a real grind with barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’re looking at a long, quiet gap where the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little is there. The real action, and I mean the only standout in this whole 16-day window, doesn’t pop up until Monday the 10th of August.
For most of the first week, from Saturday the 1st right through to the morning of Thursday the 6th, it’s flat to ankle-biters. The swell is down around 1ft to 2ft, with periods under 10 seconds, and a lot of onshore wind. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 59 and just 25. It’s not worth wetting a suit.
Then, on Thursday morning the 6th, we get a little glimmer. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph, cleaning things up. The swell is still small at 3ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, but the combined energy bumps up to 102 (moderate). It’s not a classic, but it’s surfable.
The main event, and the only true standout, is Monday morning the 10th of August. Now we’re talking. The ENE wind is glassy at 3 mph, giving us clean, offshore conditions. The swell is a solid 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a strong 220. This is a proper session. The swell direction matches the optimum for this spot (W), so it’ll wrap in nicely. The water is about average for the time of year, no major anomaly. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but 4ft is a fun size for everyone. The crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After that, the quality drops off again. The rest of the second week sees the swell fade back to 1ft to 3ft with onshore winds creeping back in, killing the vibe. There’s nothing else to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: grit your teeth through the quiet spell, and make sure you’re in the water on Monday morning the 10th of August. That’s your window.
