The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Anglet - Marinella stretch.
It’s a bleak start, I gotta be honest. For the first week and a half or so, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a very warm 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only exciting thing. From Saturday the 8th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 18th, it’s a long, flat spell of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the winds are onshore or cross-onshore, messing up whatever little bumps are there. The combined wave energy stays weak (18 to 99), and the swell periods are short, so there’s no power behind it. You’d be better off finding a pool.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. The wind goes glassy, light from the NE, and the swell picks up to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 201 (moderate) and the conditions look good. The swell is still a bit short-period, but it’s clean. That morning is the standout for the whole outlook. However, the afternoon falls apart as the wind swings cross-shore and picks up.
Thursday the 20th of August morning is another good window. The swell holds at 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and you get a clean offshore wind from the E. The energy is strong (399). This is a solid session, but the afternoon gets messy again with strong cross-shore winds.
From Friday the 21st onward, the swell drops back off. The waves become small and ordinary, with the wind staying moderate. The 22nd of August is back to flat, glassy conditions, but with no swell to speak of. The final days of the outlook show a small increase to 3ft from the NW, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s not a goer.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the Wednesday morning, 19th of August, with that glassy, clean 4ft NW swell. Thursday morning, 20th of August, is also a good call with the offshore wind and 5ft swell. That’s about it. Take the blinkers off and get out there on those windows.
Rusty.
