The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap coming up. From Tuesday morning (11 August) right through to Thursday afternoon (20 August), the surf is small and messy. The wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak, often well under 100 (80-99). The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only comfort. There’s a few glassy mornings on the 11th and 12th with tiny 2ft NW swell, but the ride is so small and ordinary it’s hardly worth paddling out for. Honestly, it’s a bit of a write-off.
But hold on, because things start to change around Friday the 21st. The morning of Friday 21 August looks like a real sneak peek of better days. We get flat calm conditions with glassy water and a clean 3ft NW swell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy finally pushes up to 166 (moderate). It’s surfable, but still nothing to lose your mind over.
The real standout doesn’t arrive until the end of the run. Keep your eyes on Tuesday 25 August. That morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. The energy is strong at 475. The afternoon is even better – glassy conditions with a 5ft NW swell and 416 energy. The water will still be that touch warmer than usual. This is the best window in the whole 16 days, and it’s the one to aim for. The swell is solid, the wind is right, and the waves should have some real shape. Even though the break is exposed and picks up this NW swell well, just be aware that it can get a bit of a crowd here sometimes, so get out early.
Wednesday 26 August morning also looks promising with 4ft NW swell, glassy calm, and strong energy at 281. A solid follow-up session.
Overall, it’s a long, slow start, but the last few days deliver. Wait it out, and that Tuesday-Wednesday window at the end of the month is your best bet.
Rusty.
