The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a flicker of hope if you’re patient.
Right now and for the better part of the next week, we’re staring down a pretty grim run. The swell is tiny, the period is super short, and the wind is mostly making a mess of things. You’re looking at waves in the 1 ft to 2 ft range with periods of 4 to 6 seconds, which is just wind chop. The combined energy is weak, reading between 16 and 65 – barely enough to get you wet. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 77°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. For the first real option, Anglet - VVF, that’s much warmer than usual, but honestly, it doesn’t matter much when there’s no surf.
We’ve got a solid gap of nothing worthwhile until Monday, July 20th. Even then, Monday morning shows a tiny 2 ft swell with a 6-second period, but the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, which makes the conditions clean. The energy is still low at 65. It’s surfable, but don’t get your hopes up. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (21st and 22nd July) look similar – clean but tiny.
The real action starts to build towards the end of the month. On Friday, July 24th, we see the swell bump up to 4 ft, but it’s a messy onshore wind from the west, and the energy is only moderate at 100. Not great.
July 25th and 26th see the swell hitting 5 ft to 6 ft out of the WNW, with energy climbing to 181 then 209. This is more size, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit of a mess. For a beach break like Anglet - VVF, that’s a recipe for choppy, blown-out waves. The setup might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those afternoons.
Now, here’s the standout. Keep your eyes on Tuesday, July 28th, and especially Thursday, July 30th. On the 28th, early morning sees a low tide, but the wind is offshore from the east, light at 6 mph. The swell is 4 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 220 (moderate). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” and with that offshore wind, Anglet - VVF should be clean and have some punch. This is the best on offer in the first two weeks.
However, the real highlight is Thursday, July 30th. The morning is glassy – a light 3 mph wind from the northeast, and the swell is 4 ft from the NW, but with a long period of 11 seconds. The energy jumps right up to 393 (strong). That’s a proper groundswell. The conditions are glassy, so it’s going to be clean. That’s the one. Thursday morning is your best bet. The afternoon picks up a bit of cross-offshore wind from the southeast, which is still clean, but the morning is the pick.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a few clean mornings with small waves, but the standout is Thursday, July 30th, when the groundswell rolls in with glassy conditions. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a way off, so the details could change, but right now, it looks like a beauty.
Rusty.
