The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it again in feet and degrees. Rusty here, looking at Anglet - Les Dunes, and it’s a slow start. From Monday afternoon right through to early Thursday the 17th, there’s nothing but onshore junk and poor surf. That’s a three-day dry spell, so don’t bother.
Thursday morning, the 17th of September, brings a big change. Glassy conditions, 6ft of NW swell with an 11-second period, and the water is a warm 73°, which is much warmer than usual. Combined swell energy is moderate at 663, and the call is “very good surf conditions.” This is the first real window and it’s a beauty.
But the one to watch is Saturday morning the 19th. Clean offshore east wind at 3 mph, 7ft of NW groundswell with a 13-second period – long-period juice that’ll wrap in proper. The combined energy is strong at 1514, and it’s excellent for experienced surfers. Over 8ft, this is expert territory. Beginners, stay on the sand.
Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st mornings both offer glassy conditions with 5ft and 5ft NW swells, periods around 12 seconds. Clean, fun, and more accessible. Tuesday the 22nd morning is also glassy with 4ft NW swell – another good session.
The swell drops hard by Wednesday the 23rd, down to 2ft with weak energy (117). The rest of the month is ordinary, though Friday the 25th morning shows a glassy 4ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period and 373 combined energy – a small but clean pulse for the persistent.
First week’s the winner. Thursday and Saturday mornings are the calls, with Saturday the standout for the hardcore crew.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Anglet - Les Dunes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
