The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’ve got a slow start to the 16-day run. The first few days are small and weak – not much to write home about. The water here at Anglet - Les Dunes is about 74°, which is warmer than usual for the season, so you’ll be comfortable in shorts or a spring suit.
The first real opportunity comes on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. It's only about 3ft from the NW, but the wind is absolutely dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The energy is moderate (226), so it’s not powerful, but it’s a clean little session for beginners and longboarders. The afternoon gets chopped up by a side-onshore wind.
The clear standout of the whole period is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. We’ve got a solid 5ft of NW swell with a 12-second period – proper groundswell. The energy is strong at 603, and with a light easterly breeze, the surface will be clean and the waves will have some real shape. This is your best day, no question. The afternoon goes to mush with cross-onshore wind.
From Monday the 7th through Saturday the 12th, it’s a long, dull stretch. Weak swell, onshore winds, and messy conditions dominate. There’s a glassy morning on Friday the 11th, but the surf is tiny at just over 2ft and weak (173 energy) – only good for a paddle.
The next real chance is Sunday morning, the 13th of September. We’ve got 5ft of NW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze keeping things tidy. The energy is 318, so there’s some push, but the period is short at 8 seconds, meaning it’ll be a bit bouncy and less organized.
Monday the 14th morning is similar: about 4ft waves and dead glassy – clean but short-period.
The biggest wave day of the whole outlook comes on Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. Swell hits 5ft from the NW with glassy conditions. This one has some real power for more experienced surfers, but again, the short period means it won’t be the smoothest.
After that, the final days fade into small, weak leftovers. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy but only offers 2ft waves on a long 11-second period – barely enough for a longboard.
Bottom line: Sunday the 6th of September is your absolute best bet. Saturday the 5th morning and Tuesday the 15th morning are solid backups. The rest is mostly a write-off.
