Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got for Anglet - Marinella over the coming couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 77°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s really unusual – it’ll feel like a bath out there.

The honest truth is, the next week is pretty flat and ordinary. Most days we’re looking at tiny swell with onshore or cross-onshore wind, just not worth paddling out for. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th have near-flat conditions, and that trend continues right through to the middle of the week. There’s a brief window on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd where a light offshore from the NE and clean conditions might make the tiny 2ft swell from the NNW (period 6 seconds) look semi-surfable, but honestly, it’s thin and weak (combined energy 45). Don’t get too excited.

From the 24th, we see the swell pick up a bit, but it’s still messy onshore or cross-on. The 25th and 26th are a write-off. There’s a solid gap of almost no quality surf until the morning of Monday the 27th. That’s our first real standout. The morning of the 27th brings a glassy, clean surf with light NNW winds, and a 4ft swell from the NW with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a nice little groundswell, creating some real shape. The combined energy is moderate (308), and for a beach break, that period is decent. The morning session is the pick – the afternoon gets choppy with cross-on wind.

Moving into the next week, the morning of Wednesday the 29th is another highlight. A clean, offshore breeze from the E, with a 4ft swell from the NW (9 seconds) and moderate energy (226). That offshore wind will make it clean and lined up. A good option for a morning surf.

The best of the whole outlook looks to be Saturday morning, the 1st of August. Glassy conditions with a light NE wind, and a solid 5ft swell from the NW, period 10 seconds. Combined energy is strong (508). This is a noticeable bump in size and energy, and with glassy conditions, it will be clean. That said, at 5ft, it’s getting a bit serious for beginners. For everyone else, that morning window is the one to circle on your calendar. The afternoon goes cross-on, so don’t sleep in.

Overall, it’s a long wait through a flat, windy first week, but the final few days have some genuine potential, especially that morning on the 1st of August.

Rusty.
