Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Anglet - Marinella.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a tough stretch. The first few days are looking pretty flat and messy, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 77°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waiting for something to show up.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday morning, the 20th of August. We’ve got a 4ft NW groundswell with a long 11-second period rolling in. The combined energy is moderate at 304. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a step up from the flatness. Still, it’s marginal, and the tide might mess with it.

Friday the 21st brings a bit more size – 5ft NW swell, period at 10 seconds, and wave energy climbing to 475. That’s moderate energy. The morning has light cross-onshore wind, which is okay, but the afternoon gets rain showers and a cross-onshore breeze that’ll chop it up. Not the cleanest.

Now, the standout window. Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is the pick of the whole outlook. The swell is 4ft from the NW, period of 9 seconds, with moderate energy at 235. The wind is light cross-offshore from the ESE, and the conditions are described as clean. That’s a solid morning for a beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon holds up okay too, still clean, but the energy drops a bit to 172. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

Sunday the 23rd is glassy in the morning with a small 3ft NW swell, but the energy is weak at 101. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The glassy conditions are a positive though.

Monday the 24th morning is also glassy with a 3ft swell, but again, weak energy at 89. The afternoon gets messy with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind.

After that, we hit another dry spell. There’s a few days with tiny waves and poor conditions until we get to Saturday morning, the 29th of August. That morning brings a 4ft WNW swell with 9-second period, energy at 232, and clean offshore ESE wind. That’s another good session, but it’s a ways out, so keep an eye on it.

The rest of the outlook into early September is mostly small, weak, and chopped up. Nothing to get excited about.

Bottom line: if you’re after a paddle, Saturday the 22nd is your best bet. Clean, beginner-friendly, and a bit of energy. The 29th is a potential follow-up, but it’s a long way off.

Rusty.
