The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking at Anglet - Les Dunes.
First thing, the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, at 76°F. That's a solid 5°F above the usual, so you'll be in boardshorts or a light spring suit for sure.
Right now, it's a bit of a slow start. The first real punt we get is Tuesday afternoon, 28 July, with a 4ft NW swell, but it's coming in with a cross-shore wind and the energy is weak. The waves are marginal and the tide is a concern. Honestly, it's a bit of a scratchy session if you're desperate.
The next few days are a write-off. From Wednesday the 29th right through to Monday the 10th of August, the conditions are just poor. Swells are small, mostly under 3ft, with junky wind directions and chop. It’s a long stretch of flat-to-messy, so save your energy.
But hold onto your leash, because things get interesting on the 11th of August. Tuesday morning sees a big pulse of 10ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the wind is light and offshore from the NE. The energy is through the roof. The guidance says it's a standout, but here's the kicker: 10ft is big, and for a beginner spot like this, that's expert-only territory. The wind is clean, but that much juice on a beach break will be a beast. The afternoon stays big with a cross-shore wind, so it's still heavy.
The 12th of August looks like the best bet for the average surfer. Wednesday morning sees the swell drop to a more manageable 5ft from the NW, with a 9-second period. The wind is light offshore from the east, and the energy is still solid. The conditions are clean. This is the one to circle in your diary. It's not a massive swell, but with offshore winds and that bit of power, it'll be fun and make you work for your waves.
The crowds can pop here sometimes, so get out early.
To sum it up: the next week and a half is a write-off. The standout is the morning of the 12th of August for a clean, solid session. The 11th is for the chargers only.
Rusty.
