The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Anglet - Les Dunes.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once we get past the middle of the week, there are some real treats in store. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, so don’t bother paddling out until we hit the weekend. The standout period is definitely Saturday morning, 5th September through to Sunday afternoon, 6th September. That’s where we’ll see the best combination of size, clean conditions, and that classic NW groundswell.
Water temps are sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there—just a standard wetsuit or a spring suit will do.
Let’s break it down. Tuesday morning, 1st September, kicks off with a 5 ft NW swell at 10 seconds and a light offshore breeze from the east. The energy is moderate (400) and the waves will be clean. Not a bad start, but the afternoon turns cross-shore and messy, so morning is the only call. Wednesday and Thursday are tiny—dropping to 2 ft and 1 ft with weak energy (29–62). Not worth a paddle. Friday, 4th September, is flat and glassy in the morning, but the swell is barely there (1 ft, 43 energy). Saturday morning, 5th September, is where it finally fires up. We’ve got a 4 ft NW swell, 11-second period, glassy conditions with no wind, and a solid 258 energy. That’s clean, fun, and good for all levels. The afternoon will still be okay but with a light cross-shore breeze, so morning is the window. Sunday morning, 6th September, is even better—4 ft NW swell, 11 seconds, glassy again, and energy at 391. This is the pick of the forecast. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Beautiful.
After that, Monday and Tuesday (7th–8th September) go downhill fast with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy drops to 55–188, and it’s not worth it. The following week is a mixed bag. Thursday, 10th September, sees a 5 ft NW swell return with 334 energy, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are marginal. Friday, 11th, is similar—4 ft, 10 seconds, cross-shore, but only marginal. The rest of the second week is small, with some clean mornings on 12th and 13th but swell under 3 ft and energy below 108. The final few days, 15th–16th September, are a write-off with onshore wind and tiny swell.
So, to sum it up: the best waves are Saturday morning and Sunday morning, 5th–6th September. The swell is 4–4 ft from the NW, period around 11 seconds, and glassy conditions. That’s your window. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too messy. Get out there while it’s good.
Rusty.
