The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for the local stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty grim with small, weak swell and poor conditions. For the first week, the surf is mostly a write-off. We’ll see a few tiny pulses around late July, but nothing to get excited about. The real interest starts to build towards the end of the first week of August, with a proper groundswell on the horizon.
Let’s break it down. Tuesday morning the 28th of July offers a glimmer of hope at Anglet - VVF. It’s a fairly consistent spot for advanced surfers, and with a light NE breeze, it’ll be clean. We’re looking at small 4ft swell from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (241). It’s surfable, but not a standout. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°F (anomaly of 7°F), which is very unusual.
The real standout, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Sunday morning the 2nd of August. That morning, Anglet - VVF is looking at a massive 13ft swell from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is through the roof (3172). The wind is forecast to be glassy calm, which is a major positive. However, this is a serious caveat: that size is too big for beginners and really only for the experts. The break can handle it, but you need to know what you’re doing. It’s an advanced-only affair. The crowds are likely to be on it, so be prepared for a lineup.
After that, the swell drops back down. Monday morning the 3rd of August sees a much more manageable 4ft from the NW, with glassy conditions again. It’s a good option for a cleaner, smaller session after the big weekend.
The rest of the period into early August is mostly small and messy, with onshore winds and weak energy. We’re talking a long stretch of poor conditions after that Monday.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best bet is the massive, glassy swell on the 2nd of August for the experts. The following Monday the 3rd is a solid secondary option for the more modest crowd. Keep an eye on the forecast for that big one, though – it’s still a ways out.
Rusty.
