The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with the outlook for Anglet - Les Dunes.
The start of this run is a bit of a slow burner. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny messy waves and poor conditions. The water is sitting at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat for the skin.
Things finally start to wake up on the morning of Saturday the 29th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, period at 9 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is moderate (354). This is the first real chance to get wet without a fight.
But the real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Sunday morning, the 30th of August. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the NW, with the period stretching to 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is calm again, absolute glass, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 551. Expect very good surf. The long period could make it break a little straight at the beach, but with that kind of energy and clean conditions, it’s going to be the pick of the bunch.
The solid conditions hang around into Monday morning, the 31st, with a clean 5ft NW swell and light offshore wind from the ENE. Good surf. Then Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is another clean one with 5ft of NW swell and offshore wind.
After that, the swell backs off. From the 2nd through the 5th, it’s mostly small and ordinary, with a few glassy mornings but nothing to write home about. The afternoon of the 5th does show a spike in energy (611) from a longer period NW swell, but the cross-onshore wind kills it.
The last week opens up again on Sunday morning, the 6th of September, with a clean 4ft WNW swell. Then Monday the 7th is a solid morning option: 4ft of NW swell at 12 seconds, with a gentle offshore breeze from the east. The energy is strong (417) and the wind is clean. That’s another promising morning.
The final few days taper off into small, onshore slop. So, if you’re looking for a window, the mornings of the 30th of August and the 7th of September are your best bets. The 30th wins hands down.
Rusty.
