The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Anglet.
First thing to say – the next few days are a write-off. The swell is tiny and the conditions are messy. You’re looking at a blank run from Tuesday afternoon right through to Thursday with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.
Things start to turn around on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell rolling in with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (287), and it’s going to be a proper session for the early crew. The waves will be a bit fat for a beach break, but the clean conditions make up for it.
Sunday morning, the 30th, is a carbon copy – glassy ENE wind, 5ft NW swell, 8-second period, and moderate energy (295). Another good one for the dawn patrol.
The standout of the whole forecast, though, is Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. This one’s a beauty. We’re looking at 5ft of WNW groundswell with a very long 12-second period, and the combined energy is strong (797). The wind is glassy from the ENE – absolutely perfect. This is one for the experienced crew; the long period will make the waves steep and powerful, and it’s going to be a treat for anyone who knows the bank. For a beach break, that long period can make it a bit straight, but with the clean glass, it’s going to be the best session on offer.
Earlier in the week, on Monday the 7th of September, there’s a big pulse of 7ft NW swell with a 13-second period and very strong energy (1559). That’s expert territory, but the wind is onshore and messy, so it’s not going to be clean. Worth a look if you’re after a challenge, but don’t expect perfection.
For the rest of the second week, conditions are a bit up and down. Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, has a clean 5ft NW swell with offshore E wind – that’s a solid session. Friday morning, the 4th, is glassy with 4ft NW swell – also good.
Overall, the best bet is that Wednesday morning, the 9th. Don’t sleep on the Saturday and Sunday mornings either. The rest is a mixed bag, so keep your eyes on the forecast.
Rusty.
