The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. Rusty here.
Right now, it's flat out there. There’s not a single decent wave on the menu for the next several days. We’re looking at a dry spell from now all the way until the morning of Thursday, August 29th. That’s a solid gap of nothing but small, weak, and messy conditions. Don’t even bother waxing up.
The first real flicker of hope shows up on the morning of Thursday, August 29th. The swell starts to fill in from the WNW, pushing around 3 ft. The combined energy is still weak (168), and it’s blowing onshore from the west, so it’s not going to be pretty. That afternoon, it gets a bit bigger to 4 ft with moderate energy (261) but it’s cross-shore and junky. Not the day to call in sick.
Friday the 30th gets messy with a strong SW wind, and the swell jumps to 6 ft in the afternoon (508 energy). That’s onshore, choppy, and a write-off. Saturday the 31st sees the swell peak with a 7 ft morning set (942 energy) and a 7 ft afternoon. It’s big, but it’s onshore and cross-onshore, so expect blown-out, messy lines. That size is only for the experts, and even then, the wind is ruining it.
The standout session is Sunday morning, September 1st. Clear skies, a light 5 km/h easterly offshore breeze, and a clean 4 ft NW groundswell (269 energy). That’s a sweet combo. The water temp is a notable 25°C, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above average. You’ll want to be at Anglet - VVF early for the cleanest conditions before the wind shifts. It’s an advanced break and sometimes crowded, so expect some company.
The following morning, Monday September 2nd, is another good call. Glassy conditions with a light westerly wind and a clean 3 ft WNW swell (147 energy). Smaller, but perfectly clean for a fun morning session.
Looking further out, the morning of Tuesday September 3rd is also glassy with a 4 ft WNW swell (247 energy). Clean, offshore conditions. Another solid option at Anglet.
Then, there’s a weird one for Monday afternoon, September 8th. A massive 12 ft WNW swell is forecast with a huge 1742 energy reading. The wind is light and cross-onshore, which sounds okay, but the file warns this is predicted to be too big for the break. That’s a "look but don't paddle out" kind of day unless you're a pro.
For the rest of the second week, from September 4th onward, it fades back to tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. Not much to get excited about.
Keep an eye on those Sunday and Monday mornings, that’s where the quality sits.
Rusty.
