Anglet - Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, Rusty here, checking the surf future for Anglet - Les Dunes.

First thing, the water's at 74°F, which is way warmer than what you'd normally get around here right now.

These first few days are pretty dead. We've got a tiny window on Wednesday morning, September 2nd, with 3ft waves going glassy, but the period is short at 8 seconds and the energy is weak (120). It's barely worth a paddle. We roll through a few more days of knee-high slop with onshore breezes, nothing to ride.

Things start to look better as we head into the weekend. The real standout is Sunday morning, September 6th. You've got a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a 12 second period, and it's dead glassy. The energy reading is a solid 494, so there's some proper push. This is the session you want to be in the water for.

Monday the 7th is smaller but still glassy first thing. Then on Wednesday, September 9th, the swell jumps up to a solid 6ft from the NW with an 11 second period and a huge energy reading of 819. That's a lot of power. But, the cross-onshore wind is going to mess with the surface. That size is deep into expert territory, and with the wind, it's going to be a battle, not a cruise. Thursday morning the 10th offers a cleaner option with 4ft and glassy conditions after some light east wind.

The second week is a mixed bag of smaller days. The mornings of the 11th, 12th, and 13th of September have clean, offshore wind, but the swell is small, between 3ft and 4ft, with very short periods and low energy (under 200). The afternoon of the 14th has a clean 4ft but with a 7 second period, so it's just weak windswell. From the 15th on, it gets onshore and messy again with no real quality.

To keep it simple: your best bet by a long shot is the glassy morning of Sunday, September 6th. If you're an expert and don't mind bumpy, powerful surf, the afternoon of the 9th has the energy, but the conditions will be rough.

Rusty.
