Anglet - Le Club Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Anglet region over the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off quiet, but the scene builds toward a couple of standout windows. The water is sitting at 74°F which is much warmer than you’d usually expect for this time of year – a real bonus for the early sessions.

The first solid chance comes on Saturday the 5th. Head down to Anglet - Le Club for the morning. The swell is a clean 3ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and combined wave energy is moderate (206). The wind is glassy, coming from the ENE at just 3 mph. That’s going to leave the surface smooth and clean. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so it won’t be a world-class wave, but for a Saturday morning, it’s a nice little window.

Sunday the 6th morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a 5ft NW groundswell pulsing in with a 12-second period, giving us strong wave energy (661). The wind is offshore from the SE at 6 mph, so it’s going to be clean and well-shaped. This is a bigger swell – over 5ft – so it’s getting a bit much for beginners, but for intermediates and up, the conditions are very good. The longer period will mean longer waits between sets, but the waves that come through will have more punch and better shape.

We then hit a dry spell through the middle of the week. The winds turn onshore and the swell drops, so from Sunday afternoon through to the following Saturday morning, it’s mostly poor or marginal. You’ll see a few windows with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 9th morning and Thursday the 10th morning, but the swell is small and the ride quality is ordinary.

The second standout, and the best on offer, is the morning of Sunday the 13th. This is over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising. The swell is 6ft from the NW, with a very long 13-second period, and combined wave energy is strong (984). The wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph. That’s the recipe for a clean, powerful morning at Anglet - Le Club. The size is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the one to circle on the calendar. The long period means it’s proper groundswell, so expect well-shaped lines and easier paddling between sets.

The following week sees smaller, cleaner conditions again, like Tuesday the 15th morning with 3ft from the NW and glassy winds, and Wednesday the 16th morning with 3ft from the NW and glassy conditions. Nothing to write home about, but if you’re desperate, it’s rideable.

Overall, the best bet is the Sunday 13th morning, with Sunday 6th morning as the backup. The rest of the window is mostly average to poor.
