The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the Anglet - VVF stretch for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run. The first week is a write-off for any decent surf, so you’re looking at a gap of about five or six days before we see anything that gets the heart rate up.
The main issue early on is just a total lack of swell. We’ve got tiny waves mixed with onshore winds that just murder any chance of a clean wave. Sunday the 2nd starts with a glassy 2ft from the NNW, but it’s weak with poor energy (37), and the shape is no good. Monday and Tuesday are similar – small, messy, and not worth paddling out for. It’s pretty frustrating, to be honest.
Then, around Thursday the 6th, things finally shift a little. Thursday morning we get a 3ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds and a light offshore wind – glassy clean conditions for a change. The energy is still low-moderate (80), and the waves are surfable but nothing special. That’s your first real chance, but it’s more about getting wet than scoring anything classic.
Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are back to small and lumpy. No go.
Now, here’s the standout: Sunday the 9th afternoon. We see a bump in swell height to 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy hitting 281 – that’s moderate, getting toward the stronger end. But the letdown is the cross-onshore wind, which will chop things up. Still, if the wind backs off or you get a lull, there’s some power in the water. Monday the 10th keeps that 4ft to 4ft range but again with cross-onshore winds, so it’s a bit of a grind for clean faces.
Beyond that, we go small again from the 11th onward. The 11th and 12th mornings have glassy conditions with a tiny 2ft from the NW and NNW, but the energy is weak (53 to 58) and it’s just not enough to get excited about. The rest of the second week is a slow fade into knee-high dribble and onshore junk.
If I had to pick the best on offer, it’s the 9th of August with that 5ft NW swell – the energy is there (281), it’s the biggest of the whole run, but you’ll have to live with some wind. A bit of a bummer, but that’s the pick of a poor bunch.
Keep your expectations real. The water temp is sitting at 76°F with a huge anomaly of 5°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water will feel like a bath.
Rusty.
