Anglet - Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Anglet - Les Dunes. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but some proper windows opening up if you’re patient.

The next few days are pretty lackluster. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a write-off with poor conditions and onshore breezes messing up what little swell there is. Wednesday the 9th sees a bump in size to 6ft from the NW, but the period is short at 9 seconds and the wind is all wrong, making it a messy cross-chop. Not worth suiting up for.

Thursday the 10th is where things start to look up. The morning brings a glassy session with 4ft of NW swell (energy at 355 – moderate). The wind is light from the ENE, and conditions are glassy. This is your first real chance for a clean wave, though the crowd factor is something to keep in mind as it can get busy here.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small – only 2ft to 2ft – and weak. Even with glassy conditions on the morning of the 12th, the wave energy is low (50). You’ll be scratching for anything rideable.

Sunday the 13th gets a pulse of longer-period groundswell at 4ft from the NW (13 seconds, energy 489) but it’s an onshore wind and the conditions are uncertain. The afternoon bumps to 5ft (energy 755 – strong) but again gets chopped by a cross-onshore breeze.

Now, here’s the standout. Mark your calendars for Monday the 14th. Morning session is the pick of the forecast. A clean,5ft NW groundswell with a12-second period and a combined energy of 603 (strong). The wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. This is going to be clean, lined-up surf at Anglet - Les Dunes. Expect proper shape and longer set intervals. It won’t be huge, but the quality will be there. Keep in mind, crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get out early.

Tuesday the 15th morning stays small but glassy again with 3ft. Wednesday the 16th morning brings a bigger5ft NW swell (12 seconds, energy 699 – strong) with a slight cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, keeping it clean. This is another excellent window, but the size (5ft) is getting into that zone where it’s a bit much for beginners.

Thursday the 17th morning has 5ft with glassy wind, and Friday the 18th morning is another glassy gem with5ft from the NW (energy 509). Both are strong, clean options. The second week has a few more promising mornings – Saturday the 19th with 4ft and light glassy wind, and even Sunday the 20th morning has 4ft with light cross-shore wind, though it’s a little less certain.

After that, the swell drops right off into the2ft-3ft range for the 21st and 22nd with clean but very weak surf.

Overall, don’t waste your time on the first few days. Monday 14th and Wednesday 16th mornings are the absolute best on offer – clean, strong groundswell from the NW, and the right wind. Get on it.

Rusty.
