Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for our local stretch.
The honest truth is, the next week-plus is a bit of a bust. From now all the way through to the 16th of July, the surf is mostly small and pretty ordinary. Most of the days have onshore or cross-onshore winds messing things up, and there’s hardly any punch in the water. The combined swell energy is low, with values barely cracking 102, so don’t expect much. If you’re dying to get wet, Monday the 6th and Saturday the 11th have short clean or glassy spells, but it’s only knee-high, unexciting stuff.
But here’s the silver lining. The session to wait for is Saturday the 18th of July. Anglet - La Petite Madrague is the place to be that morning. We’ve got a 1.0m groundswell rolling out of the NW, with a long period of 11 seconds – that’s real, pushy energy. The combined energy jumps to a solid 302. The clincher? A light offshore breeze from the E. That’s going to keep the faces smooth and make for some fun, clean rides. At that size, it’s a great option for all levels. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so stake your spot early and enjoy it before the wind shifts later in the day.
One thing to note: the water temperature is 23°, which is a whopping 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you might get away with a spring suit or less.
After that, Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th go back to being onshore and messy, so that Saturday morning window is really your best bet.
Bottom line: don’t bother with the first week. Bide your time. Mark Saturday the 18th on the calendar – that’s the one morning you don’t want to sleep in.
Rusty.
