The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Anglet is a tough one. We're looking at a long, long stretch of flat to tiny, junk surf that’s barely worth getting the wetsuit on for. The whole 16-day window is basically one big gap with nothing firing. On the plus side, the local water is sitting at 76°F right now, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like stepping into a bath. But that’s where the good news ends.
Friday the 31st kicks off with a cloudy morning, a tiny 2ft swell from the NW at a short 8 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined swell energy is a weak 66, and the report calls it poor surf. Afternoon doesn’t get any better – a 2ft NW swell, still short period, and a stronger cross-onshore wind making it choppy. We roll into Saturday the 1st of August with similar nonsense: 2ft to 3ft NW swells, short period, and cross-onshore winds all day. The energy sits between 73 and 81 – weak stuff.
Sunday the 2nd of August offers a tiny glimmer. The morning sees a 2ft swell from the NNW, but check this – the wind is glassy. That’s a major positive for clean conditions. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – and I’d agree. It’s small, weak (energy 54), and the period is a puny 6 seconds. Still, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Sunday dawn patrol is your best shot in the whole outlook. Afternoon goes back to onshore junk.
From Monday the 3rd right through to Wednesday the 13th of August, it’s a desert. Swells shrink to 1.0ft to 1ft, periods bounce between 6 and 11 seconds, but the energy is pathetic – mostly in the 18 to 62 range. The wind is nearly always cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave comments are uniformly “poor surf conditions.” There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 9th of August morning with a glassy 2ft WNW swell (energy 50) that’s called “surfable” – again, ordinary, but clean. It’s a pattern: tiny, weak, and not worth the drive.
The last few days, from the 14th to the 15th of August, tease a tiny bump – 3ft WNW swell on the 14th (energy 44-41), but with a period of just 5 seconds and cross-onshore winds. The 15th fades to 2ft with 12 to 15 mph winds and rain showers. It’s over.
The standout? I can only really point to Sunday the 2nd of August morning. That glassy wind at Anglet - VVF (2ft from NNW) is the cleanest we get. It’s an advanced wave – a beach-and-reef setup – and with the swell this small, it’s safe enough. Crowds are possible there, but honestly, with surf this poor, I doubt many will bother. The rest is a write-off. For the entire 16 days, the energy never cracks triple digits, so we're stuck in the weak zone.
If this holds, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle on most days. That’s the reality of it. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long blank run. Keep your eye on the charts.
Rusty.
