The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the outlook in feet and knots. Let's see what the charts are telling us.
The first bit of the run is pretty quiet, nothing to write home about. But keep the faith, because there’s some solid swell lining up.
The first session that’s worth paddling for is Sunday, September 13th at Anglet - Les Dunes. After a few flat-feeling days, Sunday morning brings a clean swell of about 4 feet from the NW, with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell, packing a punch (545). The best part? It’s dead glassy, no wind at all. The waves will be clean and lined up. The long period means the sets will be spaced out, giving you plenty of time to get in position. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but be aware it can get crowded.
Monday morning, September 14th keeps the fun going. Still a clean 4-foot NW swell, 11-second period, and just the faintest whisper of wind – basically glassy again (453). Another solid call for a clean session.
Jumping ahead to Thursday, September 17th is a standout. We’ve got a bigger 6ft NW swell, with a nice 12-second period, and the energy is pumping (765). Glassy conditions in the morning mean the waves will be crisp and powerful.
Saturday, September 19th is another one to circle for the weekend. A clean 6ft NW swell, 12-second period, and strong energy (760) – another top morning session.
The big highlight, the one that really gets the pulse racing, is Friday, September 25th. This is the biggest swell of the outlook: a serious 8 feet from the NW, a long 14-second period, and the combined energy goes nuclear at 2263. That means serious power. The morning is looking glassy and clean. Let’s be straight – 8 feet is big stuff. This is not for beginners; this is a day for experienced surfers only. If you’re not confident in solid waves, stick to the earlier, smaller swells around the 13th.
The next day, Saturday, September 26th, still has a strong 6-foot swell in the morning with clean offshore winds and plenty of energy (960).
Just like with the metric outlook, there’s a slow start and the very last days of the window lose their steam. But the middle of the run has two really good weekends and that one proper pumping day for the big wave crew.
Rusty, out.
