The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - Les Dunes.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and dodgy wind. We’re looking at a gap from Saturday the 18th right through to the morning of Monday the 21st before there’s even a sniff of a wave worth paddling for. The water temp is a balmy 77° but that’s a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual – feels like bathwater out there.
Monday the 21st’s morning session is just about surfable, but it’s weak and messy. The real story starts to build through the week. We get a bit of a pulse on the 27th of July, Monday morning. The wind goes glassy with a light NNW breeze, and the swell jumps to 4 ft from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is solid at 308 (moderate), and the water is glassy. That’s a proper window for a clean session, even if the size is small.
But the absolute standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the morning of Friday the 31st of July, and especially Saturday the 1st of August. Friday afternoon sees a 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy is pumping at 507 (strong). Saturday morning is even better – 5 ft of NW swell, glassy wind, and a combined energy of 508 (strong). This is the best of the whole forecast. The swell direction is straight out of the west, which is exactly what Les Dunes likes. The size is solid and clean, but it’s not too big for the average surfer. Just keep in mind, it’s a beach break, and with a 10-second period, it should offer some nice, clean lines. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so on a day like that, you can bet there’ll be a few of us out.
Tuesday the 29th of July morning is also worth a mention. A 4 ft NW swell with a 9-second period and clean offshore wind from the east. The energy is solid at 226 (moderate). It’s a good option for a quieter session compared to the weekend.
So, to sum it up: Don’t bother for the first week. The second week is where it’s at. The 27th is a nice warm-up, but lock in the 31st of July and the 1st of August. That’s your best chance for a proper, clean, fun surf.
Rusty.
