The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, things are a bit mushy. The water is sitting at a very warm 77°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home for a while. The first few days are a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions.

The first real window comes on Saturday, August 22nd. The morning is your best chance, with a clean 4ft swell from the NW at 9 seconds and a moderate offshore breeze from the East. The wave energy is moderate (241). It’s not going to be firing, but it’ll be clean and rideable for a beginner-friendly spot. Later that day and into Sunday, the swell drops off pretty quick.

We hit a flat spell from Sunday afternoon through most of the following week, with only tiny bumps that aren’t worth paddling for.

The standout period looks like Wednesday, August 26th morning, and more importantly, Friday, August 28th morning. On Wednesday the 26th, the morning brings a clean 4ft WNW swell (9 seconds) with light cross-offshore wind, offering decent fun waves for the learner crowd. But the real gem is Friday the 28th morning: glassy, dead calm, with a solid 6ft WNW groundswell at 10 seconds. That’s pushing into intermediate territory, but the wave energy is strong (643), and with zero wind, it’ll be smooth and lined up. That’s the morning to set the alarm for.

After that, the end of August and into September looks inconsistent. You get a few clean mornings – like Sunday, August 30th with a 5ft NW swell and offshore East wind – but the windows are short, and the wind tends to junk it up by the afternoon. There’s a larger pulse of 6ft NW swell showing for the morning of Tuesday, September 1st, but it’s coming with onshore wind, so it’s going to be a mess.

Honestly, for this spot, you’ve got a couple of early morning windows to hit, but don’t expect a long run of good surf. It’s a typical late-summer pattern: short bursts of clean conditions before the wind turns. Lock in Friday the 28th morning if you can.

Rusty.
