The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for our local stretch.

We’re looking at a solid week of surf ahead, kicking off with a real beauty on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a good 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a big deal, feels like a warm bath out there. The swell is a clean 3ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (229). This is a classic beginner-friendly size at Anglet - Les Dunes, and a great one to get the weekend started.

Sunday morning, the 6th, is the real standout. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, with a long 12-second period, so there’s some proper groundswell energy in the water (661 energy). The wind is glassy out of the WNW, which means perfect, smooth faces. This is top-tier surf for the area. It’s getting towards the bigger side for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the session to circle.

The afternoon turns onshore, so morning sessions are the key. Monday the 7th is a step down in size and quality, with onshore winds. Tuesday the 8th morning brings back some glassy conditions with a 4ft WNW swell, but the energy is dropping (285). Still a clean option if you’re desperate. Wednesday the 9th is a write-off with a strong NNW wind and a risk of thunderstorms – that’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.

Thursday the 10th morning is a hidden gem. Completely glassy, with a 4ft NW swell (313 energy), and dead calm wind. It’ll be a beautiful, empty-feeling session. After that, the surf fades fast. From Friday the 11th through to the 18th, we’ve got a long, dull stretch. The swell drops to under 3ft consistently, with onshore or cross-shore winds ruining what little shape there is. The energy dips into the double digits (94, 100, 105) – it’s weak. This is a true gap in the action.

Late in the period, there’s a flicker of hope. On Saturday the 19th, the swell picks back up to 3ft from the NW with a 12-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the East. The energy is moderate (204). It’s not a beast, but after a week of flatness, it’ll feel like a lifesaver.

Overall, the best bet is Sunday morning, September 6th at Anglet - Les Dunes. That 5ft NW swell, glassy wind, and long period is as good as it gets in this window. The Saturday morning before it is a close second for the warm water and clean conditions. After that, it’s a waiting game until the 19th.

Rusty.
