The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - Les Dunes.
The pattern ahead is a slow starter, with a fair bit of waiting involved. The first few days are a write-off—weak energy and nowhere near rideable. It’s not until the coming weekend that things start to wake up, and there’s a couple of windows that’ll get your blood pumping.
Right, for the standout: Saturday 29 August morning is where you wanna be. We’ve got a clean 1.7m (6 ft) swell rolling in from the NW, period sits at 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy easterly at just 5 km/h (3 mph). The combined swell energy is 470 (moderate energy). It’s not a monster, but for a break that’s exposed to the west, and with that offshore wind, those waves will be peeling nicely for a beginner-friendly spot. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get out early.
Sunday 30 August morning is another beauty—glassy conditions again with a 1.4m (5 ft) WNW swell at 9 seconds, combined energy 293 (moderate energy). That’ll be clean and fun. Tuesday 1 September morning also offers a glassy 1.3m (4 ft) WNW swell at 9 seconds, 272 energy. Thursday 3 September morning brings a clean 1.1m (4 ft) NW swell at 10 seconds, with offshore easterly breeze (15 km/h, 9 mph), 219 energy.
There’s a big gap after that, but keep an eye on Tuesday 8 September morning—a 1.6m (5 ft) NW swell, 10-second period, glassy conditions again, 469 energy. Then Wednesday 9 September morning is all calm, glassy with a 1.6m (5 ft) NW swell at 9 seconds, 405 energy. And finally, Thursday 10 September morning might be the pick of the second week: 1.9m (6 ft) NW swell, 10-second period, dead calm glassy conditions, and combined energy at 738 (strong energy). It’s a long-range call so don’t book the week off yet, but it looks very tasty for those who can handle a bit more size.
Overall, the best on offer is Saturday 29 August morning for clean, playful waves, and Thursday 10 September morning looks promising if the long-range holds. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Swell direction is mainly NW or WNW, which matches the optimum west direction here pretty well.
