The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The first proper surf shows up on Monday the 14th, so we’ve got a bit of a wait from now. After that, there’s a decent run of waves, with a couple of mornings that really stand out.
Monday morning 14th September we start clean at Anglet - Les Dunes. Waves around 4ft from the NW, 11-second period, and glassy with a light easterly breeze at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate (414), and the break is exposed, so it’ll handle that NW swell well. It’s a beginner-friendly spot too, so a good one for getting some clean, easy waves. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Thursday morning 17th September is a step up. We’ve got 6ft NW swell, 11-second period, and dead calm – no wind at all. Combined energy climbs (676), so there’s more power. It’ll be clean and glassy, but crowds can show up here sometimes, so get out early.
Saturday morning 19th September is the real standout for experienced surfers. Swell hits 7ft from the NW, 13-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph. Combined energy is strong (1514). That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell – too big for beginners, and only for confident surfers. The break is exposed, so it’ll handle the size, but that long period might make it a bit straight at a beach setup. Clean conditions though, and that makes it the pick of the run.
Sunday morning 20th September is a nice follow-up: 5ft NW, 11 seconds, light offshore again. Clean, moderate energy (502). A good, relaxed option.
Monday morning 21st September brings another big one: 6ft NW, 14-second period, glassy. Combined energy is strong (1208). That’s a very long-period groundswell, so expect powerful, well-shaped waves, but it could be a bit straight at the beach – better if you find a good bank. For experts, this is a beauty.
After that, the swell fades fast. Thursday 24th and Friday 25th September mornings have clean, small waves (around 3ft) with offshore winds, but low energy. Surfable, but nothing special. From Saturday 26th September onwards, it’s tiny – under 2ft – with weak energy (under 100). A few glassy moments, but mostly small, ordinary waves. That’s a long flat spell to close things out.
Overall, the best windows are the mornings of Saturday 19th and Monday 21st September – those are the ones to aim for.
