The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Anglet - La Barre. The water’s about 77°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – feels weird, but it’s nice.
First real chance to surf is Saturday morning, August 22nd. It’s small, 4ft from the NW, 9-second period, but the wind is glassy from the ENE. Clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate (241). It’s surfable, just nothing special.
Sunday morning the 23rd is similar – 3ft from the NW, 8-second period, with a light offshore from the ENE. Clean again, but tiny. Energy is weak (94). You’ll be on a longboard.
Then there’s a gap of rough, choppy days through the middle of the week. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is messy.
The one to circle is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd. We get a clean 6ft from the NW with a 10-second period, cross-offshore from the ESE. That’s a nice, clean wave. Combined energy is solid moderate (664). And the afternoon goes glassy – 5ft, still NW, with no wind. That’s your window. It’s not huge, but for this spot with light winds and a decent NW groundswell, that’s the pick.
The swell direction is a little off the ideal (optimum is west), but the wind makes up for it.
Later in the period, from August 31st into September 1st, we see 8ft to 12ft from the NW, with periods up to 13 seconds. That’s expert-only territory here, and the winds are cross-onshore, so it’ll be a mess. The combined energy hits over 2500, which is very strong, but not with that wind.
If you’re not surfing that Wednesday the 2nd, it’s a long wait.
