The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Anglet - Les Dunes. Honestly, it’s a slow spell, and we’re looking at a bit of a wait before anything remotely fun shows up. The water’s sitting at 76°F, which is *much warmer* than normal for this time of year – a solid 5°F above average. That’s a real treat.
Right now, through the start of the week, it’s flat and messy. Swell is tiny – 0.3 to 0.6 feet – from the NNW with a short, weak period. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy is in the weak zone (30s and 40s). Not worth your time.
There’s a big gap. Nothing of note until Thursday morning, August 6th. That morning gives us 0.8 feet from the NW at an 8-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 80. It’s still ordinary, small surf, but it’s clean and rideable. The afternoon gets messy again.
The swell tries to push a bit more by Sunday, August 9th – we see 5 to 5 feet from the NW with a short, junky 6-8 second period. The combined energy gets strong at 281, but it’s getting hammered by onshore winds. That setup looks more fun for a kite than a surfboard.
We drop back down. The best small windows are Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August in the mornings – 0.7 feet from the NW and NNW, glassy conditions with light NE winds at 3 mph. The combined energy is weak (53-58), and it’s still ordinary, but those mornings will be clean. For a beginner, that’s your best chance. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue, so get out early.
The second week is a bust. Swell drops to 0.7 to 2 feet, periods are short, and the wind is mostly onshore. The energy is pathetic – in the teens and thirties. There’s a clean moment on Sunday, August 16th with light offshore wind, but it’s barely a ripple.
The standout, if we’re being honest, is Thursday morning, August 6th – it’s the only time the stars align even slightly. For beginners, the glassy mornings on the 11th and 12th are your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a quiet run. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t plan your day around it.
