The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for Anglet over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it's a rough start. We're looking at a solid block of days with nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 22nd through to Sunday the 26th, it's a total write-off. Small, weak, short-period junk – the combined energy is barely registering, and the wind is just hammering it onshore. That Saturday the 25th will see some size, with swell pushing 6ft to 8ft, but with a fresh breeze slamming straight onshore, it's a messy, blown-out mess. Not for us.
We finally get a little hope on Monday the 27th. The swell picks up a bit, with a 5ft NW groundswell at 10 seconds, and the energy jumps up. The wind is a light cross-shore in the morning, but it's still being called marginal. Honestly, it's a tease.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle, is Tuesday, the 28th of July. The morning session at Anglet will be firing. The swell is a clean 4ft from the NW with a decent 10-second period, and the combined energy is solid. The wind? It's glassy. Completely glassy with an easterly breeze. That means silky smooth faces. This is your window for some tidy, fun waves. The water is 77°F, which is a stunner for a wetsuit, but it's also *much warmer than normal* for the time of year – a good 7°F above the average, so you'll be sweating in a spring suit.
After that, the wind gets messy again. We get a bit of a lull, but hold on for the second week. The real dark horse is Tuesday, the 4th of August. The afternoon session is looking promising. We get a 4ft WNW groundswell, but the key here is the period jumps to 11 seconds, and the combined energy is strong. More importantly, the wind goes light cross-offshore from the SSE. That's proper clean conditions. This one is a promising late call, so keep an eye on it.
Thursday, the 6th of August morning also has potential, with a 4ft NW swell, a 10-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind from the NE. It's a long-range call, so don't book the trip yet, but it's worth noting.
So, to wrap it up: the immediate future is a dud. Suffer through the wait. The only true standouts are the glassy morning of Tuesday, July 28th, and the clean, long-period afternoon of Tuesday, August 4th. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both.
Rusty.
