The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking at Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a flat spell to get through. The first few days are pretty grim, with tiny, weak swell and rubbish wind. It’s not really worth paddling out for the first four or five days. We’ve got a bit of a dry run here until things start to show some promise.
By Saturday the 29th, we finally get a little something. A clean 5ft NW swell with an offshore E wind at 3 mph and glassy conditions in the morning will make for some fun, clean waves. The combined energy is a moderate 323, so it’s not a massive day, but it’s a proper surfable morning for beginners and intermediates. Sunday the 30th is also worth an early alarm. The morning is glassy again with a 5ft NW swell, and the combined energy is a moderate 288. It’s a great couple of mornings for a longboard or a funboard.
Now, if you can hold out, the real standout is shaping up for Sunday the 6th of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 6ft NW groundswell with a long period of 11 seconds, giving it some real grunt. The combined energy is very strong at 924. The whole day is on, with glassy conditions in the morning and clean, cross-offshore winds in the afternoon. This is prime Anglet – Les Dunes. Expect clean shoulders and proper waves. It’s going to get busy though, as it’s "sometimes" crowded, but for quality like that, it’s worth fighting for a few waves.
After that, Monday the 7th gets blown out by strong winds, and Tuesday the 8th sees a massive 10ft WNW swell with a very long 15-second period. That’s an enormous amount of energy (4314), but it’s simply too big for this break. That’s an expert-only, probably-paddle-out-at-your-own-risk kind of day. The good news is that Wednesday the 9th cleans right back up with a glassy 5ft NW groundswell. It’s a longer period at 11 seconds, so the set waves will have plenty of push, and the combined energy is a very strong 685. Great way to wind down the forecast.
Stay safe out there.
