The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into the local picture for Anglet for the next couple of weeks.
Don't expect much for the first couple of days. Monday and Tuesday are total washouts—almost no swell to speak of and the wind is all wrong. You're not missing a thing.
Wednesday the 26th of August gets a pulse going in the morning. We’re talking about 0.7m of swell from the WNW, a light offshore breeze, but the swell period is a short 7 seconds and the wave energy is weak (73). It's clean but tiny, really just a knee-high affair for a quiet morning.
Thursday the 27th is better in the morning. The swell bumps up to 1.2m from the WNW with a light offshore, and the energy comes up to (188). The period is still a short 8 seconds, so it won't have much push. Still, it's surfable but ordinary.
Friday the 28th is a right-off. Onshore wind howling at 35 km/h just ruins everything.
The weekend is not much kinder. Saturday the 29th has size at 1.7m in the morning with moderate energy (508), but the onshore wind is going to smash it up into a bumpy mess. No thanks.
The first real standout is Monday the 31st of August. After a long week of rubbish, we get a morning session at Anglet - Les Dunes with 1.5m of WNW groundswell, a solid 9-second period, and glassy dead calm wind. The energy is solid moderate (338). This is the pick of the whole outlook—clean, lined-up waves. For a spot rated for beginners, that 1.5m might be a bit punchy for the groms, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s a great session. Keep in mind the crowds can show up here sometimes.
Tuesday the 1st of September is another strong morning. Offshore breeze from the East, 1.3m of WNW swell (282 energy). It’s a touch smaller than Monday but just as clean.
The second week drops off again. Lots of onshores and chopped-up conditions through the middle of it. The water temp is about average, nothing wild.
There is a distant possibility around the 7th and 8th of September. Monday the 7th looks clean with a morning offshore and 1.4m of swell (387 energy). The 8th of September gets up to a bigger 2.3m, which is getting big for a beach break and only for experienced surfers. The energy is massive (1832) and the period is 10 seconds. That’s a long way out, so we’ll see.
For the now, lock in Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September mornings. That’s your best clean surf.
Rusty.
