The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the Basque coast. We've got a bit of a slow start for Anglet - Les Dunes, so don't rush to wax up just yet. The water’s sitting at a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real chance to get wet doesn't really arrive until Thursday the 6th. That morning we’re looking at some small 3ft swell from the NW, with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate, but honestly, it's pretty ordinary stuff, nothing to write home about.
Friday the 7th morning offers another small window with glassy conditions and a tiny 3ft swell, but it's short-period junk. When it's this small and weak, you're better off waiting.
The forecast really opens up on Tuesday the 18th. That morning brings a proper pulse of swell, jumping to a solid 6ft from the NW. The combined energy is strong, and with a clean cross-off wind from the NNE, the conditions should be very good. This is the standout session of the whole outlook. The period is a decent 11 seconds, so there's some proper groundswell in there. That said, it’s a bit too big for the beginners, but for everyone else, that morning is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon sees the wind shift cross-on bringing some chop, so grab the early session.
After that, we drop back down to small, ordinary waves for the rest of the window. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, with waist-high swell, but nothing that gets the heart racing.
So, there you have it. A quiet start, one standout day on the 18th, and then back to the small stuff. Keep that Tuesday morning free. The gaps in between are full of small, weak, and choppy conditions, so patience will be your friend.
Rusty.
