The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's happening.
Right now, it's flat and has been for a while. The whole stretch from today, Friday the 14th of August, right through to the morning of Thursday the 27th of August is a proper write-off for Anglet - Marinella. There's just no quality surf on the cards. We're looking at a frustrating 13-day gap with nothing but weak, short-period windswell and poor conditions. The water is sitting at 77°F, which is feeling *much* warmer than usual for this time of year – nearly 5°F above the norm, which is very unusual. The swell energy is pathetic, often sitting below 100 (80-107 range on the few afternoons that have any pulse), and the wind just won't cooperate. Even the glassy morning on Tuesday the 18th only has 1ft of tiny stuff and almost no energy (32). It's a tough run.
Finally, we get a glimmer of hope. On Thursday, the 27th of August, things look like they might turn on. The morning sees a bump in swell to a clean 5-5ft from the NW with a decent 9-second period. The wind is going light and offshore from the ESE, which will clean things right up. The combined energy jumps to 379, which is a solid moderate pulse. This looks like the best shot of the whole window – a real standout for anyone who can wait. This is a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this isn't the norm; the ocean tends to wake back up.
Into the final days, Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, a much bigger swell rolls in, with heights over 8ft and periods up to 13 seconds. The energy readings are massive (769-3527). But here's the kicker: the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore from the W and WSW, making it a messy, blown-out mess. This setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle surf. The water's going to be wild out there. Unless you're a seasoned big-wave charger, give those days a miss.
Rusty.
