The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for the Anglet - VVF stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty slow start. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. It’s not until Saturday the 22nd that we see a glimmer of hope. The water temp here is sitting at 77°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual and means you’ll be in for a warm paddle.
For the early part of next week, you’ll need to be patient. The real standout is shaping up for Friday morning, August 28th. That’s when we get a solid 6ft of NW groundswell, with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light offshore. That combo is going to deliver some proper, well-shaped wedges. The energy is moderate (707), so there’s plenty of push. This is the session to circle.
The following Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is another one to get excited about. The glassy conditions and a solid 7ft of NW swell will make for some powerful, clean lines. The energy is strong (720), but that size is pushing into expert-only territory, so keep your wits about you.
There are a few other mornings that offer *surfable* waves, like Sunday the 23rd, Saturday the 29th, and Sunday the 30th, but those are for the small-wave crew or if you're just desperate to get wet. The long period groundswell on the 28th will be best here, as this break is exposed and can handle it.
The big news is the end of the month. Monday, August 31st, is flagged for a massive 10ft swell, but it's been noted as too big for this break. With the wind onshore, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That’s one to watch from the beach.
So, in short: get through the next few days, then circle Saturday morning the 22nd for a warm-up, but the main event is Friday the 28th. That's your best bet. The second week has a promising glassy session on the 2nd of September, but it's a bit of a gamble this far out.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
