The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down this Basque Coast stretch in feet and degrees. Water temps are reading 73°F, which is a good 4°F above the norm for this time of year – feels like you’re surfing in a warm bath and can get away with a spring suit.
On Thursday morning the 10th of September, Anglet – Les Dunes has chest-high swell at 4ft out of the north-west, running 10 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the east-south-east, so faces are clean. Combined wave energy sits at 311 – moderate push. Crowds can show up sometimes, but the early session will be the one. Afternoon turns cross-on and messy.
Friday the 11th morning drops to 2ft from the north-west at 9 seconds, energy only 83 – weak and small, but it’s glassy. Saturday the 12th is the same story: 2ft, clean in the morning, tiny. Sunday the 13th picks up to 4ft with a 13-second groundswell, energy 545 – stronger – but the wind is straight onshore. Afternoon stays cross-on.
Monday the 14th is a gem: dead calm, glassy, 4ft north-west with 11-second period, energy 399. That’s a clean, fun session. Tuesday thru Wednesday are mostly blown out or weak.
Friday the 18th morning is another clean window: 3ft, north-west, 10 seconds, light glassy east wind, energy 213. Saturday the 19th morning is similar with 4ft and an offshore breeze, energy 305.
Now the standout – Sunday the 20th of September. The morning brings 7ft from the north-west at 9 seconds, energy 680 – powerful. The wind is glassy out of the north-east. That’s the best of the bunch. But Sunday afternoon jumps to 10ft, energy 1174 – too big for beginners and the wind goes cross-on. Monday the 21st hits 12ft, energy 2262 – that’s only for experts, and onshore at that.
Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd stay solid: Wednesday the 23rd morning gives 7ft, 11 seconds, glassy, energy 1004 – a heavy session for experienced surfers. Saturday the 24th morning is 3ft but with a ridiculous 17-second period, energy 871 – that’s an incredible long-period groundswell, dead calm, but it might close out a bit at this beach – still a memorable morning.
No big gaps – most days have something. Top call: the glassy Monday the 14th and that big clean Sunday the 20th.
Rusty out.
