Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First off, we’re looking at Anglet – Marinella, and this forecast is a game of patience. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The first couple of days are a write-off, but hold your horses because there’s a couple of absolute gems hiding in the second week.

The pattern starts meek. Wednesday the 2nd offers a tiny 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is weak (120). It’s surfable, but barely. That’s the best we’ve got for a few days, honestly. Thursday and Friday are just poor, with tiny waves and messy wind. You’re better off staying home.

Then Saturday the 5th morning shows a bit of life. A clean 3ft swell from the WNW with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is picking up (166), but it’s still small. The real lift comes Saturday afternoon when a 4ft NW groundswell (12-second period) rolls in, with moderate energy (503). The wind is a cross-shore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but that’s the first sign of something decent.

Now, Sunday the 6th morning is where it gets proper. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and a solid energy reading of 614. That’s a standout. The wind is offshore from the SE, making it damn clean. This is a great session for anyone who can handle a bit of size. It’s not too big for intermediate surfers, but it’s got enough push.

The middle of the week from Monday the 7th to Thursday the 10th is a write-off. Onshore winds, rain, and choppy junk. Skip it.

We get a little reprieve on Friday the 11th afternoon. The swell drops to 4ft NW, but it goes glassy again with clean conditions. Not a standout, but a solid little session if you’re desperate.

Now, the real highlight. Wednesday the 16th morning. This is the one. A 6ft WNW groundswell with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and a massive energy reading of 849 (strong wave energy). This is the best swell of the entire run. The direction is a perfect match for the optimum. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and lined up. This is a bit more size, so it’s better for experienced surfers, but it’s a true session to mark on the calendar.

Thursday the 17th morning is also worth a mention, with a clean 4ft NW swell and offshore wind, and energy at 341 (moderate). A nice follow-up to the main event.

So, the standout is clear: Wednesday the 16th morning. Mark it. Sunday the 6th morning is the other solid bet. The rest of the window is mostly small or messy, but those two sessions are worth the wait.

Rusty.
