The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Anglet - Marinella.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are not looking like a classic summer run for this stretch of coast. The first week or so is pretty flat and messy. We've got a long gap of poor conditions from now right through to late in the week. It’s going to be a bit of a waiting game.
You’ll see we start with weak, choppy, small waves through Monday and Tuesday. Nothing doing. That continues, with tiny swell and onshore winds ruining any chance of a wave. From the 17th through to the 20th, it’s basically a write-off – small, short-period windswell mess.
Finally, there’s a pulse of energy that shows up on the morning of Friday, the 21st. This is the standout of the entire outlook. We’ve got waves about 5ft rolling in from the NW with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the NE. That’s a clean, lined-up setup. The combined energy here is solid (523), so there’s real push in the water. This is your window – get out there early.
After that, it drops back off. Saturday the 22nd has a clean enough morning with offshore easterlies and a smaller 4ft NW swell, but it’s nothing special. Sunday the 23rd is tiny again. Then we slide into another messy, onshore week.
There’s a flicker of hope way out on Sunday, the 30th of August, with another 5ft NW groundswell showing up. But that morning has cross-onshore wind on it, and it just doesn’t line up perfectly. It’s one to watch, but right now it’s too far out and too iffy to get excited about.
Overall, if you want a wave, your best bet is Friday the 21st. It’s the only session where the swell, wind, and energy all come together. The rest of the time, it’s a struggle.
Rusty.
