The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's ahead for the next couple of weeks.
So, Thursday the 3rd into Friday morning is a bit of a slow cooker with tiny, weak surf. The water is a warm 74°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardies. The real action starts to build over the weekend. Saturday the 5th morning sees a jump in energy with a 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds, and the ENE wind is glassy, making for clean, though small, conditions. The energy is moderate (206). The standout, however, is Sunday the 6th morning. We've got a 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is a light SE cross-off shore, keeping it clean. The energy is strong (661). That's the pick of the first week for Anglet - Les Dunes.
The following week brings a mix. Monday morning the 7th is a write-off with onshore wind. Tuesday the 8th is messy. Wednesday the 9th morning has a clean 4ft NW swell with light offshore E wind, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it's a bit weak (201). Thursday the 10th morning is glassy with a 4ft NW swell at 10 seconds, offering moderate energy (241). Not bad, but not the best.
The real highlight comes a week later, on Sunday the 13th. The morning session is looking excellent with a 6ft NW swell, a long 13-second period, and glassy conditions with a light NE wind. The energy is very strong (984). That's the one to circle on the calendar. The following Monday and Tuesday mornings also have some clean windows, but with smaller swell. Keep an eye on the forecast for that Sunday the 13th; it's a promising, long-range prospect.
Rusty.
