The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for our local stretch of sand.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The next few days are looking pretty grim, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The wind is messy and the swell is junky. We’re looking at a gap of about two days of real rubbish before things start to turn.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in on Saturday morning, 29 August. The wind is set to swing ENE and go glassy, and the swell is a clean 6 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The water is a toasty 75°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The combined energy is pumping at 612 (moderate), and the forecast says expect very good surf conditions. This is a standout window.
Saturday morning 29 August at Anglet - Les Dunes is the one to aim for. That glassy wind and waist-to-chest high swell from the west-northwest will be clean and fun for the beginner-friendly banks. Just keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
Sunday morning 30 August is another solid look. The wind is offshore from the E at 3 mph, with a 5 ft swell from the NW and a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is 561, and it’s forecast to be clean. This is a proper groundswell pulse, so the waves will have some shape and punch, but longer period swells like this one can sometimes make beach breaks a bit straight. Still, with that offshore wind, it’ll be worth a look.
Monday morning 31 August offers a smaller, glassy session with the wind going calm from the NNE. The swell is 5 ft from the NW at 9 seconds, with combined energy of 338. It’s not the biggest, but the clean conditions will make it a fun, mellow paddle.
After that, the window tightens up again. The surf drops off and the wind turns onshore, making for a few days of poor conditions through the first week of September.
Looking further out, Saturday 5 September morning shows some promise. The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, with a 5 ft swell from the NW and a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps to 700 (moderate), and it’s forecast to be clean. This is a longer-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s got potential.
Sunday 6 September morning also looks interesting. Glassy conditions with an ESE wind at 3 mph, a 5 ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period, and combined energy of 661. Another long-period groundswell in the forecast, but again, it’s a bit far out to be sure.
The absolute best of the bunch is Saturday morning 29 August with that glassy, clean 6 ft swell. If you can only get one session in, make it that one.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
