The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for the local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. For Anglet - Les Dunes, the first half of the forecast window is a tough watch. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the combined swell energy is weak (between 42 and 115). The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so the conditions are just messy. You’re looking at a long, quiet run here.
Around Wednesday morning the 12th, we get a brief moment of hope. The wind goes glassy, which is a beautiful thing, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The swell is a weak 2ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds (combined energy of 56). It’s not a standout, just the first real chance to wet your wetsuit after the gap.
We then go into another dry spell. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 13th and 17th, but the swell is too small to get excited about—just 1ft to 2ft. The water temp on that first Monday (the 10th) is 75°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s feeling like a bath out there.
Now, if you can be patient, the real glimmer of hope comes on Friday morning the 21st of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a 3ft NW swell rolling in, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined swell energy of 238—moderate, but a step up from everything else. The morning is glassy, the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best on offer. It’s a long way out, so the promise is real but not locked in. Swell direction is NW, which matches what the spot likes, and that glassy wind will have it looking clean as a whistle.
After that, the energy drops again. The 22nd and 23rd bring small, clean-ish windows but nothing to write home about.
So, to sum it up: the next week is a bust for real quality. The one true standout is the morning of Friday the 21st. Be there if the forecast holds.
Rusty.
