The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - Les Dunes.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the next week and a half is gonna be a tough slog. We’re looking at a real dry spell for any kind of decent surf. From now through the 19th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny, weak swell and poo poo conditions. The water is a balmy 77°F and that’s a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be warm but not riding much.
We get a little flicker of life on the morning of Thursday the 20th. It’s not much, just a 2ft NW windswell bumping into some cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is only 149 (moderate) and the period is a short 11 seconds. It’s surfable, but only just.
Things start to look a whole lot more interesting on Friday morning the 21st of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a proper 5ft NW swell rolling in with a consistent 11-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to 558 (strong). The wind is a light NE breeze, coming cross-offshore, keeping the faces clean. This is your best bet for the whole forecast. The morning session is the window, because the afternoon gets chewed up by a moderate NNW cross-shore.
Saturday the 22nd is worth a mention too. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the NW, but the morning is glassy with a light N breeze. The combined energy is still a solid 210 (moderate). It’ll be a fun, clean morning but a bit smaller than Friday.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums for a few days until Tuesday the 25th. The morning of the 25th is clean with an offshore E breeze and a 3ft NW swell at 11 seconds. The energy is 192 (moderate). It’s surfable but ordinary.
The real standout of the second week is Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning session is looking special. Light offshore E breeze, 2ft NW swell, but the period stretches out to a long 12 seconds, giving it some real grunt. The combined energy is 266 (moderate). The winds are clean and the conditions are set to be good. This is a sneaky good morning for a point break setup, but for a beach break like Les Dunes, that long period might make it a bit walled. Still, the best of the late run.
Thursday the 27th has a bit more size at 4ft from the NW with 11-second periods, but the wind is from the SW, which is cross-on. It’s marginal, at best.
So, to wrap it up: you’re waiting until Friday the 21st for the biggest and most powerful window. The Saturday the 22nd morning is a good backup. The later standout is the morning of Wednesday the 26th, which is a sleeper with cleaner conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of it.
Rusty.
