Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Anglet's got cookin' for us.

Right now, it's a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We're looking at a few days of small, choppy, and pretty ordinary surf through to Wednesday the 16th of September. Nothing to write home about, just a bit of a wait.

But hold onto your boardies, because things are about to turn. The first real highlight is shaping up for Thursday morning, the 17th of September. Anglet – VVF is going to see some solid 6ft NW groundswell rolling in. The wind is set to go glassy, which is about as good as it gets for clean conditions. Wave energy will be pumping hard (663), and this is definitely the standout session of the early period. It’s a big swell, so more for the advanced crew, but the clean conditions will make for some epic lines.

Thursday afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore, so the window of perfection is a morning-only affair. Friday looks messy again.

Now, for the true standout of the whole outlook. Mark your calendars for Saturday morning, the 19th of September. This is the one. We’ve got a proper 7ft NW swell with a 13-second period – that's some serious groundswell energy (1514). The wind is a light offshore from the east, keeping the faces clean and lined up. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be a big day out there, so know your limits. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, and on a day like this, you can bet the local crew will be out.

Saturday afternoon the wind swings again, so again, make the most of the morning.

Sunday morning the 20th offers a nice follow-up. The swell drops a bit to a very manageable 5ft, and we get another glassy morning with a 12-second period. Wave energy is still solid (528). Perfect for a longboard or a funboard if the Saturday session was too heavy. Then Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd also have clean, glassy mornings with chest to head-high swell and good energy (706 and 520). That’s a solid run of mornings for the following week.

The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a full winter suit just yet.

After that run, the swell starts to fade through the middle of the following week. Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th are small and weak. There’s another pulse of swell for the morning of Friday the 25th of September – a clean 4ft with a 12-second period and glassy conditions (373). A nice little surprise to cap off the working week, but not the standout.

After that, it fades right out through the end of the outlook into the last days of September with tiny, onshore dribble. A few good days to be had, so don't sleep on those mornings.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
