The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Anglet.
Honestly, the next week and a half is going to be a real test of patience. We've got a long stretch of pretty underwhelming surf. The first few days are particularly grim, with tiny, weak, and messy conditions. There’s a real gap from now through to mid-August where there’s hardly anything worth paddling out for. It’s not looking good at all for a while.
Come Friday morning, the 16th of August, we finally see a bit of a bump, but it’s a mixed bag. The swell picks up to about 5ft from the WNW, but with a short period of just 8 seconds, it’s not going to have much grunt. The combined energy is moderate (276), but the wind is onshore, so the quality is questionable. It’s a marginal call at best.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the NW with a combined energy that’s strong (808). This is big, expert-only territory. The wind is light and cross-onshore, which might keep it from being totally blown out, but this kind of size at a beach break like Anglet is for the experienced crew only. There’s potential for some heavy, powerful waves, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
To be honest, for most of the period, with the wind and small, weak swell, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. We might see a few fun ones on the morning of the 14th of August – a glassy 2ft from the WNW with a little bit of energy (87) – but it’s nothing to write home about.
So, the big day is the 18th of August. Get on it if you've got the skills and the nerve. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
