The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. It’s been a flat, pretty ordinary stretch for the most part. That run of poor surf from now through the middle of the week is a real bummer. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves for a solid stretch. There’s a small bump on Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th, with the swell energy picking up a bit, but it’s still pretty lackluster. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and it’s keeping everything messy. If you’re desperate, Wednesday morning the 12th is glassy, but the swell is only 2ft and weak, so it’s really just a paddle-around session.
Then we get a real gap in quality. After that, nothing is worth getting excited about for a while. It’s a long, drawn-out flat spell. But hang in there, because the second week throws us a bone.
The first true standout of the window is on the morning of Thursday, August 21st. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at proper size, around 6ft, with a long-period NW swell (11 seconds) and clean, cross-offshore northeast winds. The energy jumps to 861, which is a big jump. This is going to be firing. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for Anglet - VVF, which is exposed to that west-northwest groundswell. This is the pick of the window, no two ways about it.
The morning of Saturday, August 22nd is also worth a look. It’s a step down in size, around 4ft, but it’s glassy. The swell drops a touch in period, but it’s still solid. It’ll be cleaner and more user-friendly than the day before, but that Thursday morning has the power.
One more note: the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 5°F above average – that's a noticeable jump, so you might not need the thickest suit.
So, to sum up: grit your teeth through the first week. The 21st is your day, and the 22nd is a good backup. The rest is mostly a write-off.
Rusty out.
