The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Anglet - Les Sables d'Or.
Right now, the water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The surf outlook is pretty average for a while, with small swell and a lot of onshore wind messing things up.
The best window in the entire 16-day run lands on Tuesday, August 25th. That morning you’ve got 5ft swell from the WNW, with an offshore east wind at 10 mph – clean and workable. But the real standout is Tuesday afternoon: the swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, with a light offshore breeze. The energy is solid, the conditions are clean, and it’s the most punchy waves we’ll see. Not one for beginners, but good fun for experienced surfers.
Before that, Monday, August 24th morning offers 4ft of NW swell and an offshore east wind at 10 mph – a decent, clean little session. And Tuesday morning the 25th also holds up well with 5ft and clean offshore wind.
The rest of the period is pretty grim: onshore winds, small weak surf, and poor conditions. The first week is a total loss for the afternoon sessions.
Bottom line: Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are your only real chances. Tuesday afternoon is the best of the bunch – bigger, cleaner, and more energy.
Don’t bother paddling out until then.
Rusty.
