The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's cookin' for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next week or so is a tough one for us. We're looking at a long, flat spell to start. From Saturday morning right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny and the wind is all over the shop. Lot of onshore and cross-on junk, with heights barely reaching 1 to 3 feet. It's pretty much a write-off for a solid week. The patience is gonna be tested.
Now, we finally see a pulse of life kickin' in around Monday, July 27th. That morning at Anglet - VVF, the wind drops to glassy from the north-northeast at 3 mph, and a new long-period groundswell from the northwest starts to show. The swell is sitting at 4 feet with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy ramps right up to 308 (moderate energy). It's not a monster, but after a week of nothing, that's a beautiful sight. The water is also running much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice bonus. That morning window looks like the first real chance to get a clean wave.
The pattern keeps building into the start of August. Saturday, August 1st, is the true standout of the whole outlook. The morning at Anglet - VVF is looking prime. The swell holds steady at 5 feet from the northwest, with a solid period of 10 seconds (groundswell), and the combined energy is a strong 508 (strong wave energy). The wind is glassy from the northeast at 3 mph, so the surface will be absolutely clean. That's a serious session on the cards. The afternoon sees the wind turn, but the morning is the one to chase.
The swell hangs around for a bit into Sunday, August 2nd, but the wind turns more cross-on, so the quality drops off. The best bet is to lock in the morning of the 1st. That's the winner.
