Anglet - Le Club Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Anglet - Le Club over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so don’t get too excited just yet.

We’ve got a few days to get through before anything really gets going. The first half of this run is pretty flat or messy, with a lot of poor conditions and small, weak swell. The real action, if you can call it that, kicks off around the end of the month.

Let's talk about the standout, and it’s a big one, but with a major caveat. On Friday the 28th of August in the afternoon, we’re looking at a serious pulse of swell hitting the coast. The waves are going to be pumping at a solid 10ft from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds and combined energy of 1873. That’s a heap of water moving around. The wind is a gentle breeze, but it’s onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The real issue here is that this is simply too big for this break. This is an expert-only zone at that size; if you’re not a pro, stay on the sand and watch. The power is immense.

Before that, the best of the smaller stuff is on Saturday the 23rd of August. The morning session will offer clean, surfable waves at 2ft from the NW. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and lumpy, but the offshore cross-off wind from the east at just 3 mph will have the faces looking tidy. Combined energy is only 62, so it’s not powerful, but for a beginner or someone wanting a longboard cruise, it’s the pick of the first week.

Looking further out, Saturday the 5th of September is showing some promise. The morning is looking clean with a 3ft NW swell (period 9 seconds, energy 238). The wind is a light cross-off from the east. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the first session in a while that looks genuinely fun and clean. Mark it down as a promising but less certain option for the long-range.

Water temperature is about average for the time of year at Anglet, so no need for a thick wetsuit just yet.

The rest of the days are a write-off. We've got strong onshores, tiny surf, or that massive pulse that’s just too dangerous. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 24th to the 27th, so don't bother.

Keep an eye on that 5th of September morning. That might be the one.

Rusty.
