Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions right through the first week and a half. There’s a tiny glimmer Monday morning the 13th with some 4ft swell from the WNW and glassy wind, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the wave energy is weak (134). The water is sitting at a very unusual 77°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s the warmest you’ll feel it in a while. But that Monday session is the only one with any real potential, and even then it’s just surfable, nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s a desert. From Monday afternoon the 13th all the way through to Saturday the 26th, the surf stays small, weak, and mostly chopped up by onshore or cross-shore winds. You’ll see tiny 0.7ft to 3ft swells with periods mostly around 5 or 6 seconds, and the combined wave energy barely breaks 60 or 70 most days—really weak stuff. The wind is almost always on it, making things messy and uninviting. For beginners, there’s nothing worth paddling out for; for anyone else, it’s just frustrating.
The standout, and really the only one worth circling on your calendar, is Sunday morning the 26th. We finally get a bit of a pulse: 3ft from the NW with an 8-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate wave energy (118). It’s not a big swell, but the combo of glassy wind and a touch more push makes it the cleanest and most rideable window in the whole forecast. The break is fairly consistent, so there should be a few waves to pick off, but with crowds listed as sometimes, expect a handful of others with the same idea.
After that, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th see a bit more size at 4ft from the NW, but the winds turn cross-onshore again, so quality drops off fast. By Tuesday afternoon, it’s choppy and not worth your time.
Overall, it’s a lean outlook. The surf just isn’t cooperating for the next couple of weeks. But as we know, forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay flat forever. Keep an eye on that Sunday the 26th window—it’s the best we’ve got.
Rusty.
