The Lowdown
Alright, gang, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the Basque Coast.
The first few days are a bit of a bust, so leave your board in the car. The first real chance to catch a wave is Wednesday morning, September 2nd. Anglet - La Barre will have a small, clean 3ft wave from the NW, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the energy is weak. The water is a warm 74°, which is about 4° warmer than usual, so that’s a bonus.
The rest of the week is nothing to write home about. The swell does start to pick up over the weekend, and Sunday morning, September 6th, is our best bet. We’re looking at a solid 4ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period, which gives a moderate energy of 494. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be a smooth, clean lineup at this river/jetty spot. The NW direction is a good match for the ideal W.
Monday morning, September 7th, is also a good call, with another glassy morning and a 2ft NW swell, though the energy is lower.
Into the next week, Thursday morning, September 10th, is promising with glassy conditions again and a 4ft NW swell (period 9 seconds, energy 326). Just remember, this spot is inconsistent, so be patient. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue, so you might have some company.
From Friday, September 11th, through to the Monday, September 14th, it’s a lot of "surfable but ordinary" stuff. The winds turn offshore from the East, cleaning up the faces, but the swell is small with short periods. The Saturday morning, September 12th, has a 3ft WNW swell, and the Monday afternoon, September 14th, has a clean 4ft WNW swell, but both are let down by short periods.
The very end of the forecast, Tuesday, September 15th, and Wednesday, September 16th, is a wipeout with onshore winds and messy conditions.
The standout is Sunday morning, September 6th. It’s not a monster swell, but it’s the cleanest, most energetic, and the glassy wind will make for the best waves. The Thursday morning, September 10th, is a solid second choice for a clean, glassy session.
Rusty.
