The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Anglet - Les Dunes is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
We’re in for a bit of a slow start, with the first real opportunity not showing up until Saturday the 29th. The water is 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat for the skin.
Saturday 29th August morning is the first standout. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a 9 second period. The wind is light offshore from the east at 9 mph, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy reading is a moderate 388, giving the swell some push. This is your best bet for a proper session in the first week. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s fairly consistent, so there should be waves for everyone. But be aware, it can get crowded here sometimes.
After that, the south-westerly winds blow up the afternoon sessions, but Tuesday 1st September morning also looks promising with 4ft of WNW swell and a 10-second period, clean offshore winds from the east at 6 mph, and a combined energy of 315.
Into the second week, the pick of the litter is Wednesday 2nd September morning. We’ve got 5ft of NW swell at 9 seconds, with a glassy offshore wind from the east at 9 mph. The energy is a solid 343. This would be another great morning to get out before the sea breeze kicks up.
After that, the forecasts are more of a waiting game. The swell sticks around, but the onshore winds are persistent. That’s the long-range view for now.
Rusty, signing off.
