The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cooking for the Anglet area.
We're kicking off on Sunday, August 30th, with some promise. The water is sitting at a warm 74°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not even need a full suit.
The first standout of the period is Sunday morning at Anglet - VVF. We've got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is solid at 412 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is glassy from the NE at only 3 mph. This is going to be clean, lined-up surf. It's an exposed spot, so it'll catch the energy, and with winds like that, it'll be a joy. Keep in mind, it's a spot for advanced surfers only, and crowds can pop up sometimes. This is the best on offer for the whole run.
Sunday afternoon goes downhill fast as a cross-onshore NW wind kicks up to 12 mph and the quality drops out. Monday the 31st stays messy with cross-onshore winds and marginal conditions, despite the swell hanging around 6ft to 6ft with energy peaking at 637 (moderate wave energy). The wind just kills it.
Tuesday, September 1st morning offers a brief glimmer. The swell drops to 5ft from the NW, but the wind goes cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, cleaning things up nicely. The energy is moderate at 392, and it’s a decent session, though not quite the standout of Sunday. Tuesday afternoon gets choppy again.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are small and weak. Wednesday morning is glassy with a tiny 3ft swell (energy 123), but the waves are ordinary. Thursday is even smaller, barely a ripple. We hit a dry patch.
Then we get a big call for Saturday, September 5th morning. This is the second standout, but it's a week away, so keep that in mind. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NW with a period of 14 seconds—that's a long-period groundswell. The combined energy is massive at 1463 (strong to very strong wave energy), and we have a clean offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 6ft, it's getting into the "too big for beginners" zone. The long period means it will likely break a bit straight at a beach break, but with offshore winds, it should still offer some good lines for the crew who know what they're doing.
Sunday the 6th morning is still solid with a 5ft swell and offshore wind, but the energy drops to 515. It's good, but not the standout.
After that, the second week is pretty quiet. Monday the 7th is blown out and rainy. Tuesday the 8th morning has a glassy 3ft WNW swell with a nice 12-second period (energy 288), which is surfable but nothing to write home about. Then it gets ugly again with heavy rain and strong winds on the 9th, followed by days of tiny, weak surf from the 10th through to the 14th of September. There are a few moments on the 13th with small, clean offshore wind waves, but they're ordinary at best.
So, to sum it up: Sunday morning, August 30th, is your best bet for clean, quality waves. Keep an eye on Saturday, September 5th morning for a bigger, more powerful swell if you're experienced and can handle the size and period. After that, it's mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
