The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for our shores.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty ordinary. There’s a big gap of poor surf ahead. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t roll around until the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. That’s a long stretch of small, messy, onshore junk. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the conditions are just not cooperating. Even the morning of the 25th sees a bump in size to 6 ft, but the wind is howling straight onshore at 19 mph, making it a total write-off. The afternoon of the 25th pushes up to 8 ft, but that’s with strong onshore winds and a combined energy of 706, which is significant, but the wind is just ruining it. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, let’s jump to Tuesday morning, July 28th. This is our first real standout. The swell is a clean 4 ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and combined with an offshore breeze from the ENE at just 3 mph, the conditions are going to be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate at 273. For a spot like Anglet – VVF (France), a NW swell is the direction you want, and it’s a fairly consistent break. It’s an advanced wave, so it’s not for the groms, but if you’re up for it, the morning of the 28th is the best bet of the whole run. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, with an anomaly of 7°F, so that’s a treat.
The next real window pops up on Sunday, August 2nd, in the morning. We get a 5 ft NW swell, a period of 8 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 304. It’s not a massive day, but the conditions will be clean and the waves should be fun for the advanced crew. The morning of the 4th and 5th also offer glassy, smaller waves, but they’re just ordinary – more of a paddle than a session.
The long-range stuff into the second week is a bit of a lottery. The morning of August 2nd is the last real highlight, and then it fades back into small, choppy, onshore mush. The best advice I can give is to be ready for the morning of the 28th and the morning of the 2nd. Everything else is a wait-and-see game.
Rusty, signing off.
