Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us over the next few weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t kick in until Monday, 20th July. Up until then, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. The odd bit of knee-high slop on the 12th and 13th is there, but the wind is all wrong or the period is too short to make it worth paddling out for. There’s a long gap of pretty ordinary conditions from the 14th right through to the 19th, so don’t bother checking the cam until the week after.
Now, the real action starts to build on Monday, 20th July. That morning, we’ve got a clean 1.8m (about 6ft) NW swell rolling in, period around 7 seconds, and it’s dead glassy with a light NE breeze. The combined energy is starting to show some muscle (305). By the afternoon, the wind swings East at 20 km/h (12 mph), blowing offshore, keeping it clean, and the swell pushes up to 2.1m (about 7ft) with wave energy climbing to 437. That’s a proper session shaping up, and it’s the first standout of the run.
The standout on offer, though, is Tuesday, 21st July at Anglet - Les Dunes. This is the one to circle. Morning sees a 2.5m (about 8ft) WNW swell, period 8 seconds, with a light offshore East breeze at 15 km/h (9 mph). The combined energy is massive (1314), and the report flags excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a strong, powerful swell that’s going to have some punch. But heads up – 2.5m (8ft) is expert territory, especially with that much energy in the water. The afternoon pushes it to 3.0m (about 10ft), which is too big for this break, so get your waves in the morning. The wind stays clean and offshore, so it’s going to be a rippable, powerful day if you’ve got the skills.
Wednesday, 22nd July is still a beauty. The morning has a 2.0m (about 7ft) NW swell with a nice cross-off wind from the SE, energy sitting at 668, and the afternoon drops to 1.8m (6ft), glassy, with a WNW breeze. That’s a solid day of surf without the size scaring everyone off. After that, Thursday the 23rd through to the end of the period, the swell fades back to small, weak, and mostly onshore or choppy. Nothing worth chasing.
Water temp is about average for the time of year at Anglet - Les Dunes, so no surprises there.
So, if you’re looking for the best window, it’s Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd. Tuesday morning is the clear winner for the big, powerful, clean stuff. Don’t sleep on the 20th, either – that’s a solid, glassy start.
Rusty.
