Anglet - Marinella Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag out here. We’ve got some real windows of clean surf if you play it smart, but you’ll have to wade through some lumpy, onshore days to get to them. The water is running a toasty 77°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bonus.

First real chance to get wet is Saturday the 22nd. Morning’s looking clean with a light offshore E wind. Swell is a modest 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun on the points. Overall energy is weak to moderate at 269. It’s a good one for getting the rust off. The afternoon backs off a bit.

Sunday the 23rd is small, with just 2ft on the morning. Clean with an offshore wind, but super weak energy at 54. It’s a board-shortboarder day, not much push. The afternoon drops right off.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Sunday afternoon through to Tuesday the 25th, it’s pretty flat or junky. The swell picks up a little on Tuesday but it’s onshore and messy. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 26th is small and messy. Another day to give it a miss. Thursday the 27th gets interesting, but not for the faint of heart. The swell jumps to 8ft by the afternoon, but it’s from the WNW with a short 8-second period. That’s a lot of lumpy, closed-out energy. For most of us, it’s too big and messy. The energy reading is a solid 741, but it’s not friendly. Friday the 28th is similar – big, onshore, and not inviting.

Here’s where things start to get good. Saturday the 30th is the standout. Morning surf is 7ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and it’s glassy. A light ENE breeze, zero wind, clean conditions. The energy is strong at 666. This is the one to aim for. The forecast quality is high, and a glassy 7ft day at Anglet-Marinella is special. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for anyone with experience, it’s on. The afternoon stays rideable, though a cross-shore breeze kicks up.

Sunday the 31st is another great one. Morning is glassy again, with a solid 6ft from the NW, 10-second period. Energy is strong at 690. This is a proper point-break swell, clean and powerful. Another top pick for the week. The afternoon gets a little cross-shore, but still fun.

Monday the 1st of September brings onshore winds and mess, and that’s a good time to take a break. The surf gets smaller and the wind turns against us. Tuesday the 2nd is more of the same, with onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

The real gem is waiting for you on Thursday the 3rd of September. Morning looks glassy again, with a clean 6ft from the NW, 10-second period. Energy is strong at 603. This is another one to circle on the calendar. It’s going to be clean, rippable, and fun.

The run finishes out with a bit of a fade. Friday the 4th has a clean morning, but the swell is dropping. A 4ft NW windswell is okay for a longboard, but not much else. The afternoon builds a bit, but conditions get messy. Overall, the next two weeks have a few quality windows, focused around the 30th, 31st, and the 3rd. The forecast gets a little less certain that far out, but the trend is your friend.

Signing off, Rusty.
