The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Anglet - Les Dunes.
To be straight with you, the first half of this forecast window is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty poor surf conditions, and I wouldn't be getting too excited about paddling out from now until around the 20th of August. The swell is small and weak, mostly hanging around 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of a clean wave. The wave energy is weak, with values mostly under 100 and only a few nudging into the low triple digits (119). It’s a real flat spell.
But hold on, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve got a standout window brewing for the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. The morning session is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ll see a nice bump in swell to 4ft from the WNW, with a moderate energy reading of 212. The real kicker is the wind: it’s going to be glassy. That means the surface will be like a mirror, offering some of the cleanest surf we’ve seen in weeks. The swell direction is a solid W to NW, which is right in the pocket for this spot. Keep in mind, the swell period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell, but for the size and the glassy conditions, this is the best we’ve got.
The afternoon of the 22nd, the swell bumps up to 5ft with a strong 487 energy, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it’ll get chopped up pretty quickly. That morning session is the one true standout.
A quick word on the water: the water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a full 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s noticeably warm out there, so you might not need a full winter suit.
The rest of the forecast after the 22nd looks like it slides back into a mix of onshore breezes and smaller, weaker swell, so don’t expect the run to stay good. For now, bank on that Saturday morning, 22nd of August, and hope the long-range call holds up.
Rusty.
