The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’re stuck in a real flat spell. There's a long gap of poor surf conditions with very little to get excited about right through until the morning of Thursday, August 20th. That’s a solid week of essentially nothing worthwhile.
The only real glimmer of hope comes late in the forecast. On Thursday morning, August 20th, we might see a little window of clean conditions. The wind is due to go glassy, which is a major positive. The swell is small, coming in at 2ft from the NW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (59). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for a waist-high dribbler. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
Then, on Friday, August 21st, we get another chance. The morning looks glassy again, with a light 2ft NW swell, but the period stretches out to 7 seconds and the energy ticks up a bit (108). It’s still not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is Anglet - Marinella, which is an exposed, fairly consistent beginner-friendly spot. The optimum swell direction is from the West, so the NW swell is a little off the mark, but with those glassy conditions, it’ll be worth a paddle if you’re desperate. It’s a spot that can get crowded sometimes, but honestly, with this quality, I’d be surprised if there’s many out.
We’ve got a few other days with a bit more size, like Sunday, August 24th, where the swell hits 7ft from the NW. But with the wind howling at 15-22 mph and a cross-on direction, the conditions are going to be rubbish. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.
So, to sum it up: the clear pick is the morning of Friday, August 21st at Anglet - Marinella. It’s nothing special in size, but the glassy wind and clean conditions will make it the most user-friendly wave of the whole period. Don’t expect a classic, but it’s a lot better than a week of nothing.
