The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Anglet area. Gotta be honest with you, the next 16 days look like a tough stretch. We’re staring down a long, quiet run with nothing much to get excited about, so patience is the name of the game.
The water is sitting at a very warm 77°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s like the ocean forgot to take its jacket off—properly unusual.
We kick off the outlook on Tuesday, July 21st, and right away it’s a struggle. The swell is tiny—just 3ft from the NNW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The energy is barely there (79), and with a cross-on wind, it’s just not worth paddling out. The first few days are all the same story: small, weak, and messy. You’ll see a bit of a bump on Saturday, July 25th, when the swell pushes up to 8ft to 8ft from the WNW (energy jumping to 500-769), but the wind is straight onshore and strong—35 km/h in the morning, 20 km/h in the afternoon with a risk of thunderstorms. That’s a stormy, choppy mess, not a surfer’s window. That size is also too big for beginners.
The whole first week is a write-off for quality waves. Even the bigger days are blown out. The only real glimmer doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 28th. That morning we finally get a bit of a break. The swell is 4ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds—getting some shape to it. The energy is moderate at 208, and the wind is light offshore from the east. That’s clean, glassy conditions. For a spot like Anglet – VVF, which is an exposed beach break, this is your best shot. It’s still not a big swell, but with clean conditions and a consistent break, it’s the standout of the whole forecast. The break is fairly consistent and can get crowded sometimes, so get in early. After that morning, though, it’s back to the doldrums.
The second week tails off hard. From July 29th all the way through August 5th, the swell drops to under 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. There’s a clean morning on August 4th with easterly offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft. Not enough to bother with.
So, the long and short of it: one decent, clean morning on July 28th is your only real chance. Everything else is small, wind-affected, or just plain flat. It’s a long gap between good waves, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
