The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf ahead for the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, so don’t get too excited just yet. The real action, if you can call it that, is further out.
We’ve got a bit of a slow patch to start. From Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month, the waves are just too small or messy. The morning of the 23rd has some knee-high, glassy 2.3ft swell from the northwest, but it’s weak, with only 62 combined energy. It’s surfable, but there’s no push to it. The rest of the week is a case of waiting.
The first real standout looks like Saturday the 29th. The morning’s got a solid 7.9ft groundswell from the west-northwest with a 10-second period. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is pumping at 1207. However, that’s pretty big for a beginner spot like Anglet - Les Dunes. With the wind blowing straight onshore from the west at 9 mph, it’s going to be a messy, powerful closeout. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. The northwest swell is a match for the exposed beach, but the wind is going to ruin it. This is only for the experienced crew who don’t mind a beatdown.
The next morning, Sunday the 30th, is a much more realistic option. We’ve got a clean 4.3ft swell from the northwest with an 8-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the east-northeast at 3 mph, making for a glassy surface. The combined energy is 250, so there’s a bit of push. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. This is a good window for the beginner and intermediate crowd at Les Dunes, but keep in mind this spot can get crowded sometimes.
Looking further ahead, the most promising session is Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a clean 3.6ft northwest groundswell with a long 12-second period. The wind is offshore from the east at 6 mph, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy hits 452, so the waves will have some real shape and power. The long period helps the wave quality, but at a beach break, those long gaps between sets might make it a bit slow. Still, this is the best call of the whole run. It’s a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s a promising one.
