The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at Anglet - La Barre for the next 16 days, and it’s a story of a few clean windows getting wrecked by a lot of wind. The water is sitting at 74°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or spring suit.
The first real chance to get a wave is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. Glassy conditions, a 3ft swell from the NW, and a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, so it’s nothing huge, but it’s clean. The standout for the first week is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW with a 12-second period, giving it some proper groundswell grunt. The wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze, and the water is clean. The combined energy is a solid 661. That’s your best bet for the first week, no question.
The middle of the week is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions. Don’t bother with the 7th or 8th. The next big one is a long way off, but it’s a beauty. Mark your calendar for Sunday morning, the 13th of September. The forecast shows a 6ft swell from the NW with a very long 13-second period, meaning proper groundswell. The combined energy is a strong 984. The wind is glassy, and conditions are “very good.” This is the highlight of the whole outlook. It’s a week and a half away, so it’s a bit of a gamble, but it’s the one to circle. For a river/jetty spot, that long period NW swell will wrap in beautifully. After that, Wednesday morning, the 16th of September, offers a clean 3ft swell with glassy conditions, which is a solid, smaller option.
Other than those two or three mornings, the wind is a pain. It’s mostly cross-on or onshore, which will mess up the face. For a break that’s inconsistent, you’ve got to pick your moments. The Sunday the 6th is the call for the first week, and the Sunday the 13th is the one to dream on for the second week.
Rusty.
