Anglet - Les Dunes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Anglet - Les Dunes over the next couple of weeks. We've got a mix of small windows of clean waves and plenty of days that are just blown out, so you'll need to pick your moments.

The main story is a solid little run of groundswell arriving this weekend, offering the best chance for a proper surf, with a long wait for anything decent after that.

The water is sitting at 73°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a notable anomaly, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit.

For Anglet - Les Dunes, the week kicks off with a pulse of moderate energy (540) on Wednesday the 9th, but it's a write-off with rain showers and a messy cross-shore breeze from the North at 9 mph pushing in a 6ft swell from the NW at a short, weak 9 seconds. Not worth paddling out for. The afternoon is even worse with choppy cross-onshore wind.

Thursday the 10th morning is where it starts to look interesting. We've got a clean offshore breeze from the ESE at only 3 mph, grooming a 4ft NW swell with a decent 10-second period. Energy is moderate (311), and the wind is clean off the land. That's a solid, surfable wave for the morning.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th mornings are both glassy, but the swell drops right off to 2ft with very weak energy (83 and 70). You'll get a fun little longboard wave if you're keen, but nothing with any punch.

Now, here's the standout. Sunday the 13th morning is your best bet in this whole forecast. We've got an absolute glass-off from the East, and a beautiful groundswell from the NW at 4ft pushing in with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 609. This is clean, lined-up, powerful stuff that will hold its shape perfectly at Les Dunes. Expect long waits between sets, but the quality will be high. This is the morning to circle on your calendar. The afternoon gets choppy, so stick to the early session.

Monday the 14th morning still has clean, glassy conditions with a 4ft NW swell at a long 12 seconds (energy 478). It's not quite as strong as Sunday, but it's still a very good, clean morning surf.

After that, the surf tails off. There's a small, clean bump on Thursday the 17th morning with a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, making it a bit weaker and less exciting (energy 281). The wind is light offshore from the NE, so it'll be clean, just not the same quality.

The following Saturday the 19th morning is glassy again with a 3ft NW groundswell (12-second period, energy 320). It's clean, but small. The last proper call is Monday the 21st morning, glassy once more with a 3ft NW swell (11-second period, energy 220). For the second week, conditions are clean but the size is really down. After that, it's a long run of tiny or blown-out days right through to the 24th.

Overall, if you want the best of it, get out on Sunday the 13th morning for that standout clean, long-period NW groundswell. Monday the 14th morning is the solid backup. Everything else is small or messy, so don't hold your breath for the second week.

Rusty.
