The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Anglet - Marinella. The water is sitting at 23° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a nice little bonus, you won’t need the thickest suit.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a write-off, with poor surf and onshore winds. Wait it out, because it’s all about the windows of clean conditions.
Wednesday 9th September morning is the first real chance. We’ve got a clean 6ft NW swell with a 9-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is moderate (486). The size is solid, not too big for a capable beginner, but definitely one to watch for the drop-ins. The wind will be doing you a favour.
Thursday 10th September morning is the standout for the early part of the week. Glassy conditions with an ESE breeze at 3 mph, making it clean. The swell is 4ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, and a moderate energy of 311. That’s a beautiful, clean morning for a longboard or a funboard. Get in before the onshore comes up in the afternoon.
Sunday 13th September morning has a bigger pulse of 5ft NW swell, a long 13-second period, and strong energy (878). The wind is light onshore, but the period is long. This is a groundswell, and at a beach break like this, that long period might make it a bit straight and fat. Worth a look if you’re keen on a paddle, but don’t expect perfection.
Monday 14th September morning is clean again. Offshore wind from the ENE at 3 mph, 4ft NW swell, 12-second period, and energy of 442. That’s a proper, clean, lined-up morning. Light offshore breeze with a solid groundswell pushing in.
Thursday 17th September morning is a big call. We’re looking at a very clean 5ft WNW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The energy is strong (508). This is a high-quality session, glassy, and the swell direction is straight from the optimum. This is the best day on offer.
Friday 18th September morning and Saturday 19th September morning both offer clean, offshore conditions again. Friday sees a 4ft NW swell with a gentle offshore E breeze, and Saturday a 4ft NW swell with a light offshore E breeze. Both are clean, user-friendly, and consistent.
Now, looking further out, Tuesday 23rd September morning is a real standout for the long-range. Glassy, calm wind, 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period and strong energy (537). The wind is zero, and the water will be glassy. If that forecast holds, that’s a day to block out in the diary. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it has all the ingredients for a classic.
On the flip side, the 22nd of September is a no-go. Strong winds, messy, lumpy, and the swell is over 5ft but with a cross-onshore. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day.
The second week has a few more clean windows but nothing as epic as the 17th or the potential of the 23rd. The 15th and 16th are mostly blown out or small.
Overall, the best bet is Thursday 17th September morning – clean, offshore, solid swell. And keep an eye on Tuesday 23rd September morning for a possible glassy classic.
Rusty.
