The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've got the outlook for Anglet - La Petite Madrague. This is a spot that's well exposed to the west, so it's got a constant eye on the ocean. The first bit of the week is a bit of a slow burn, but we've got a couple of mornings that are really gonna deliver.
The real highlight is this coming Saturday morning, the 5th of September. We're looking at a clean 4ft swell from the northwest, with a solid 11-second period that's packing some moderate energy (258). The wind is dead calm, making it glassy. This is the standout session for the whole outlook. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday morning, the 6th, is another cracker. We've got a bigger 4ft swell from the northwest, a long 11-second period, and even more energy (391). The wind is calm again, giving us those perfect glassy conditions. This is a close second to Saturday.
Now, for the rest of the run. Tuesday afternoon, the 1st, holds a 5ft swell from the NW with 10-second period and moderate energy (400), but the cross-shore wind spoils it a bit. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see some 4ft to 4ft swells, but the wind is tricky, making conditions marginal at best. There's a long gap from the 8th to the 12th where the surf is small and ordinary, with a couple of clean mornings on the 8th and 13th but only tiny waves. The 15th sees a 4ft swell from the WNW, but a strong cross-onshore wind messes it up, and the 16th is a write-off.
This is a beginner-friendly spot, so anything over 5ft can be a bit much, and we don't get that here. The 10 to 11-second periods are good for the beach/jetty setup, offering decent shape. Crowds are possible on the better days, so get in early.
Alright, that's the drift. Stay salty.
Rusty.
