The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on the surf at Anglet - Les Dunes in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a slow start and a big wait ahead for the real goods.
The first few days, from Saturday the 22nd through Tuesday the 25th, are flat and weak. Small, gutless waves and nothing to write home about. The water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is about 6°F warmer than it should be for this time of year – that’s a proper anomaly, you might not even need a spring suit.
The first real standout is on Thursday morning, 27th August. We’re looking at a clean 5ft groundswell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 378 (moderate). The wind is glassy and calm from the south, so it’s gonna be an absolute mirror out there. This is the one to paddle for.
Friday morning, 28th August brings the big league – a powerful 10ft swell from the WNW with a 11-second period and massive energy reading of 2337 (very strong). That’s too much juice for a beginner-friendly break, and with a 15 mph cross-onshore from the WSW, it’s going to be a messy, choppy, expert-only affair. Not the day to be learning.
After that, the outlook goes flat for a long stretch. From the 29th of August through the 6th of September, the swell stays under 3ft or gets ruined by onshore winds. There are a few glassy mornings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th of September), but with weak energy readings (under 130), it’s just ankle-slappers.
Your window is the Thursday 27th morning – that 5ft glassy, clean WNW groundswell is the only real call here.
Stay wet.
