The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next couple of weeks for Anglet. We've got a bit of a mixed bag, but the patient ones will be rewarded.
Right now, the ocean is just waking up. Thursday the 3rd has a tiny 2ft NW swell with weak energy (63), and a messy cross-wind. Not worth paddling out for. The real start gets going on Friday morning the 4th. It’s small, about 2ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy, coming from the NE. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is a balmy 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
Saturday morning the 5th is where we start to get a little life. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW, but the energy jumps to a moderate 206. The real kicker is the glassy conditions with an ENE breeze. That’s clean surf. It’s a good option for a longboard session. Saturday afternoon, however, gets messy. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW with a long 13-second period, and the energy is strong (732), but the cross-onshore NW wind at 12 mph will chop it up. That’s a no-go for paddling.
Sunday the 6th is the first real standout. The morning delivers a clean 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period and strong energy (661). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE, keeping it clean. This is the best window of the first week. The water is glassy, the waves have some punch, and it’s for the advanced crew. Don't miss it.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a bit of a grind. Monday the 7th through Thursday the 10th sees waves bouncing between 2ft and 5ft, but the winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it poor. There are a few windows of cleaner conditions, like Wednesday morning the 9th with an offshore E breeze, but the swell is only 4ft with a short 8-second period. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
We then hit a dry spell. From Friday the 11th through Tuesday the 15th, the surf is small and poor. The swell stays under 3ft and the winds are generally onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a session on Saturday the 12th morning with a tiny 3ft NW swell and an offshore E breeze, but it’s weak (80 energy). It’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
But hold on, because the real prize is waiting. Sunday morning the 13th of September is the standout of the entire forecast. The swell is 6ft from the NW with a very long 13-second period, and the energy is massive (984). The wind is glassy from the NE. This is a proper groundswell. The water will be glassy, the waves will have serious power. For the advanced surfers, this is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a week and a half out, so don’t take it as gospel, but the signs are very promising.
After that, the week of the 15th settles back into small, clean conditions. Tuesday morning the 15th is glassy with a 3ft NW swell, and Wednesday morning the 16th is glassy again with a 3ft NW swell. Good for cruising, but nothing compared to the 13th.
The final days, Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, look poor with onshore winds and tiny waves. Overall, we have two clear targets: Sunday morning the 6th for a solid clean session, and Sunday morning the 13th for the big, clean groundswell that the advanced crew will want.
Rusty.

Information about the Anglet - VVF Surf forecast

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anglet - VVF may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
