The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, 'cause Rusty's here to walk you through the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but I'll tell you what's what.
Honestly, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty grim for most of us. The first decent chance of a surf won't even pop up until Wednesday the 12th of August, and even then, it's nothing to write home about. We're looking at a long stretch of weak, small swells and lousy wind. The energy's just not there. Most of the time, we're seeing combined swell energy in the double digits (around 37 to 88), which is real weak stuff. There's a slight bump later on with some moderate energy, around 110 to 165, but the conditions are still messy.
The first real, tiny window comes Wednesday the 12th of August, early. Anglet - VVF is showing a tiny 2ft swell from the NW, with a short 8-second period. The wind is glassy though, which is a major positive. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The consistency here is fairly consistent, which is a bonus, and with glassy conditions, it'll be clean. Keep in mind, this spot is an advanced wave and can get crowded sometimes. The combined swell energy is a weak 69.
Things get a little more interesting toward the end of the second week. On Friday the 21st of August, the morning looks promising. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is calm, making it glassy. It's still only surfable but very ordinary, but the combined energy has bumped up to a moderate 139. This is probably your best bet for a paddle. Then, on Sunday the 23rd of August, another morning window opens with a 3ft swell from the NW, a period of 8 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a moderate 157. It's still just "surfable" but with the glassy wind, it'll be clean.
I can't lie to you, it's not a great run. The swells are small, the periods are short, and the wind is rarely your friend. For the first week, you're mostly looking at poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There's a few standouts, but they're fleeting. The pick of the bunch is probably that Friday the 21st of August morning at Anglet - VVF, with glassy conditions and the biggest, cleanest energy we'll see. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got. The second week is a bit of a waiting game, with only a couple of potential windows.
So, keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't get your hopes up too high. It's one of those stretches where the ocean is just taking a breather.
Rusty.
