The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check out the pulse for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks. It's going to be a game of waiting for the clean windows, because there's a lot of onshore chop to sit through.
The water is a touch warmer than usual, sitting at 73°, which is about 4° above the norm for this time of year. The first few days are a total bust. Monday afternoon and all of Tuesday are just poor, with cross-onshore winds messing up the surf. Wednesday morning has some size with a 6ft NW swell, but it's got a cross-shore wind and the energy is moderate (497), so it's not the one. The whole first week is a grind of choppy, onshore wind.
We finally get a break on Friday the 11th. The morning is glassy with a tiny 2ft NW swell. The energy is weak (76), but it's clean. It's surfable, but don't expect much.
The real standout window is Monday the 14th of September. The morning is looking prime with a glassy wind from the ENE, a clean 4ft NW swell with a solid 12-second period, and a combined energy of 442 (moderate). This is perfect for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The swell direction is NW, which works well with the optimum W direction. Get out there early.
The following week has a few more goodies. Wednesday the 16th morning is another glassy session with a 5ft NW swell (11 seconds) and a moderate 455 energy. That's a go. Friday the 18th morning is also glassy, with a 5ft NW swell (10 seconds) and 469 energy. Then Saturday the 19th morning, again glassy, with a 6ft NW swell (8 seconds) and 408 energy. That's a bit bigger, but the shorter period will make it a bit lumpier.
Later on, Tuesday the 22nd of September looks tasty. The morning brings an offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, cleaning up a 4ft NW swell (11 seconds) with moderate energy (288). That offshore wind is a major win, and it's the only true offshore window in the whole forecast.
Remember, this spot is fairly consistent, so even when it's flat, it won't be long. The 20th and 21st look rough with strong winds, so give those a miss. The bigger 7ft swell on the afternoon of the 18th is blown out, so leave that for the experts.
Rusty out.
