Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the ol' reliable beach break, Anglet - Marinella, for the next couple of weeks.

Bit of a quiet start, honestly. The next few days are looking pretty ordinary. The water is a toasty 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a full wetsuit. The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday the 26th. It's only small, 1 ft, from the NW with a mediocre 10-second period, but the wind is out of the east and glassy. It'll be clean, but don't expect much push.

That's the only real highlight for a bit. The rest of the week and into the weekend is a write-off with small, weak swell and poor winds. We get a bit of a bump on Friday the 28th – swell hits 5 ft from the WNW, but it's a choppy, short-period windswell, and the wind is messy. It's a no-go.

Then things start to look up. Saturday morning the 29th and Sunday morning the 30th are both small, around 5 ft from the NW, but with glassy conditions and that light offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is moderate (287 and 295 respectively), and the sets will be clean. It's not epic, but it's surfable and fun.

The standouts really start to shape up next week. The mornings of Tuesday the 1st of September and Thursday the 3rd of September look excellent. On Tuesday, you've got a clean 5 ft NW swell with offshore winds, very clean. Thursday the 3rd is the pick of the week: a solid 5 ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period, again clean with offshore easterly winds. The energy is strong (424). That's the one to circle on the calendar. Friday the 4th morning is also worth a mention with glassy conditions on a 4 ft NW swell.

Now, for the long-range stuff. It gets real interesting. The morning of Monday the 7th of September is not for the faint of heart. We're looking at a solid 7 ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period. The energy is massive (1559). The wind is light and cross-on from the SW, but the tide is favorable. This is a big, powerful swell. For a beginner-friendly beach break, this is going to be too big. For the experienced crew, it could be a ripper, but that swell direction and period might make it wall up and close out. It's a heavy, expert-only session.

After that, things settle down again until the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. That's the final standout. A clean 5 ft WNW groundswell with a very long 12-second period, glassy conditions, and strong energy (797). That's a beautiful day for a longboard or a step-up shortboard, and the clean conditions will be a treat.

All in all, don't hold your breath for the first week. Wait for the 3rd or the 9th of September. The 7th is the big one, but only if you know what you're doing.

Rusty.
