The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya, it’s a bit of a slow cooker this outlook for Anglet.
Right off the bat, Saturday and Sunday (July 24 & 25) are a write-off. We’ve got a building swell but it’s completely blown out by strong onshore winds. That’s not surf, that’s just a washing machine with a lot of whitewater. Sunday afternoon (July 26) is still pretty messy with a choppy cross-onshore.
The first real glimmer of hope hits Monday morning, July 27. It’s not a massive swell, maybe 3ft from the northwest, but that wind is glassy. You get that rare bit of dead-calm air and that northwest groundswell has a very long period of 11 seconds, pumping decent energy into the bank (245 combined energy). It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up. That’s the pick of the first week.
Tuesday morning, July 28, is another window. Light offshore breeze from the east-northeast, a 4ft northwest swell with a good period. It’s clean and has a fair bit of muscle (318 combined energy). That would be a fun, punchy session.
After that, things go flat and ordinary. Wednesday and Thursday are just tiny, weak, and cross-on. The water is a crazy 4 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re practically swimming in bathwater.
The dry spell holds pretty much all the way through the end of July and the first few days of August. There’s a blip on August 1st (Saturday morning) – a sneaky good one. A long-period groundswell from the west-northwest, 3ft but with a 15-second period, coming in with clean cross-offshore winds. That’s a very promising long-range look for the river mouth or reef setups, as that long period will hold up nicely. No crowds are guaranteed that far out, and the morning glass-off is a beautiful thing, so you’d want to be on it.
The rest of that first week of August is all onshore muck again. It stays poor right through to the end of the outlook on August 8. A few glassy mornings pop up (like August 7 morning) but there is simply no swell to push them. Too weak to care about.
So honestly, your best bets are Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July – for clean, moderate waves – and if you’re feeling lucky and can wait, the morning of August 1st is a potential stand-out, but it’s a long way off and could change.
