The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s going on at Anglet - Les Sables d'Or. It’s a bit of a slow starter, but there are a couple of mornings that’ll have you waxing up quick.
The afternoon of Friday the 28th of August is a no-go. Onshore wind and chunky 6ft swell with a short period. The water’s at 75°, which is much warmer than usual, so you’ll be comfy in a spring suit.
Your first real chance is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. Glassy as a pond, wind out of the ESE, and a solid 6ft swell from the WNW carrying a good kick of energy. The 9-second period gives it some shape. It’s a bit big for total beginners, but fine for anyone with a few sessions under their belt. Get on it early.
The standout is Sunday the 30th of August. Dead calm in the morning again, light Easterly breeze. You’ve got a 5ft NW swell, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, which is real groundswell. The energy reading is high. This will give you clean, lined-up waves. The crowd factor says “sometimes,” so expect company, but the quality makes it worth it. Morning only, as the afternoon goes onshore.
Monday the 31st of August morning and Tuesday the 1st of September morning both serve up glassy conditions with 5ft swell – good, clean fun.
Then it goes flat. From Wednesday the 2nd of September through the start of the following week, we’re looking at small, weak swell and mostly choppy wind. Not worth wetting a suit.
There’s a small window on Monday the 7th of September morning with a cleaner cross-off breeze and 4ft swell, but it’s small.
For the second week, focus on Friday the 11th of September. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the WNW, but with a short period. The wind is cross-off and light in the morning, and by the afternoon it’s glassy. It’s not as clean as that Sunday window, but if the long-range guess holds, it could be a fun session after the flat spell.
Your best bet is the Sunday 30th of August. That’s the one to plan around.
