Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the beach. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Anglet.

First up, it’s gonna be a quiet start. The beginning of this week is pretty ordinary with small, weak swell and a bunch of onshore winds making things messy. Don’t waste your time paddling out Monday or Tuesday; the water’s warm at 73°F but the conditions are poor.

The first real green light comes on Wednesday morning, September 9th. We’ve got a NW swell pushing about 6ft with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a solid 552 (moderate). It’s a bit of a raw swell but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s worth a look for the experienced crew. Expect some chop on it.

The next standout is Thursday morning, September 10th. This is the best bet of the first week. The swell drops a touch to about 4ft from the NW, with a 10-second period. More importantly, the wind is completely glassy – zero mph from the east. That means clean, peaky waves at Anglet. The energy is still moderate (311), and with no wind, the lines should be fun. This is your session, just be aware crowds are sometimes an issue here, but that’s the price of clean waves.

The real highlight, the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday morning, September 13th. We’ve got a solid 5ft northwest swell, period jumping to a very nice 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with some punch. The combined energy is up at 814 (strong). And it’s glassy again with only a slight air moving. Very good surf conditions are expected. This is the pick of the fortnight for the experienced surfers; the long period will wrap nicely into the points and reefs around here. The afternoon gets a light cross-onshore, so get on it early.

Monday morning, September 14th keeps the run going with a clean 4ft, 12-second NW swell and offshore ENE wind. Another solid morning session on offer.

Looking deeper into the second week, the Wednesday morning, September 16th is worth a mention. It’s glassy again, with 3ft from the WNW and an 11-second period. Clean, fun waves.

But the biggest standout of the whole outlook is Saturday morning, September 19th. This is a big one. There’s a 6ft NW swell with an excellent 13-second period, putting the combined energy at a whopping 1021 (very strong). The wind is a clean offshore from the east, making for perfect conditions. This is for experienced surfers only – that’s a proper swell, and the long period will mean powerful, lined-up waves. The crowd might be thick at Anglet given the quality.

That’s the picture, lads. The middle of the second week drops off again with small, choppy stuff, so make the most of those clean days. The 10th and the 13th are your best bets, with the 19th being the big, powerful finale.

Stay safe out there.
