The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight up—this forecast for Anglet - Les Dunes is a bit of a dud for the next week or so. The first real recommendation doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, and even then it’s just a "surfable but ordinary" kind of day. Before that, we’ve got a few days of nothing but poor surf conditions with weak, short-period windswell and onshore winds. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
So, Wednesday morning the 22nd is where it starts to get your attention. A tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is weak at 63, so don’t expect much push, but it’s a chance to get wet without getting thrashed. The break is a fairly consistent beginner spot, so this is a good one for the learners. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company.
The next standout? You’ve got to wait until Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to a moderate 220. The wind is light cross-onshore from the NW, so there’ll be a few ripples on the surface, but it’s surfable. This is a step up in size, but still manageable for most.
Then, Wednesday the 29th of July morning is the best on offer. A solid 7ft swell from the NW, period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 748. The wind is onshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which isn’t ideal, but the size and energy are there. This is getting into the more powerful range—over 5ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners, and at 7ft it’s pushing into expert territory. The break is exposed, so it’ll handle the size. The crowds are possible, so keep an eye out.
After that, things drop off again. You’ve got a few days of poor conditions with onshore winds and dropping swell. The last little glimmer is Sunday morning, August 2nd, with a 2ft NW swell, clean cross-offshore winds from the NE at 6 mph, and a combined energy of 108. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
Overall, it’s a rough patch. The first week is mostly a write-off, and the second week has a couple of half-decent windows. The Wednesday morning the 29th of July is the pick of the bunch if you’re chasing some size and power, but expect the wind to be a bit messy. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts shift.
Rusty.
