Anglet - Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up for us at Anglet - Les Dunes.

The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag to start. We’ve got a little swell around, but the conditions are going to take a few days to really come together. The first few days, Friday the 11th through to Saturday the 12th, are a bit of a write-off for anything decent. The waves are small, under 3 feet, and the early morning glassy conditions on Saturday are the only saving grace, but with barely any energy in the water (72), it’s a tough sell. You’d be waiting a long time for a ride.

Now, Sunday the 13th is where things get interesting. We wake up to a clean, glassy morning with the swell jumping up to 4ft from the NW. The period stretches to a nice long 13 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 545. That’s moderate wave energy, and with the wind dead calm, it’s going to be clean. This is a proper groundswell, so it’ll have some punch and nice long lines. This is the first standout of the period – Sunday morning looks like the first proper session.

Monday the 14th keeps that clean vibe going in the morning with an offshore breeze and a 4ft NW swell. It’s not quite the standout of Sunday, but it’s a solid, surfable day. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind.

After a few poor, choppy days mid-week, we get another absolute belter on Thursday the 17th. The swell has built to 5ft, still from the NW, with an 11-second period, and the energy is up at 675. The morning is glassy again. That’s a winner.

The pattern keeps up, with the next big morning being Saturday the 19th – another 4ft, 11-second NW swell with glassy conditions and energy at 569. Then Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st both offer clean, glassy mornings with 5ft NW swells and very strong energy readings (672 and 700). These are long-period groundswells, perfect for the points and reefs, though at a beach break like this, they might wall up a bit, but the quality of the wave will be there.

The real highlight, the one you’d want to circle on the calendar, is Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning brings a 6ft NW swell with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is a beastly 1137 – that's strong wave energy. And the wind? Clean, gentle offshore from the east. This is going to be excellent. It’s a bit spicy at 6ft, so it’s getting into intermediate territory, but for those with a bit of experience, it'll be the best session of the whole forecast.

That’s really your window. From the 13th to the 23rd, the mornings are where it’s at. The water temp is running about average for the time of year.

Keep your eyes on that Wednesday the 23rd. That's the one.

Stay salty,
Rusty
