The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch for the Anglet - La Petite Barre sandbar. This is a wave that breaks rarely, and this 16-day forecast is mostly a flat spell. The water temp is reading about 74°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. There’s a long dry run ahead – no real surf to speak of for several days in a row.
The only hint of something happening comes late in the forecast. On the morning of Tuesday, September 15th, there’s a tiny 0.7ft swell out of the west with a super short 3-second period. That’s just ripple energy, with combined swell energy at a weak 1. The afternoon shows a little more: about 2ft from the west at 4 seconds, with combined swell energy up to 12. Still, it's very poor. Even on the 6th of September, a small 3ft west swell shows up with a 5-second period and combined energy of 32, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, so it’ll be messy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling on those days.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent and tucked away, this is a normal quiet spell for the area. When we get the offshore breezes from the east that this break loves, there’s just no swell to push in. Keep an eye on the forecast in case something changes, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
