Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Anglet has in store for us. We’re kicking off with a bit of a wait; the first couple of days are pretty grim, but the waiting game will be worth it.

The week starts off messy. Wednesday morning (9th September) has 6ft of NW swell on the table, but it’s rain showers and a cross-shore wind chopping it up. The energy is moderate (540), but the conditions are just poor. Wednesday afternoon is even worse, so don’t bother. Thursday morning (10th September) is the first real tease – we drop to 4ft NW, but with a light ESE offshore wind, the surface goes clean. Combined energy is moderate (311), and the 10-second period is a solid groundswell. That’s a decent window if you’re keen.

Friday and Saturday mornings (11th and 12th) are small, glassy, and clean but with waves only around 2ft. The energy is weak (83 and 70). Not worth suiting up for unless you're on a longboard. Then we hit the real stand-out.

Sunday morning (13th September) – this is the one. We’ve got 4ft of NW swell, and the period jumps to 13 seconds, giving it a very long-period groundswell feel. The water is a very unusual 73°, which is 4° warmer-than-normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat. The wind is glassy from the east, and combined wave energy is strong (609). *Anglet - VVF* will handle that NW swell with its exposed setup. It's a fairly consistent break, and the 4ft is in that sweet spot. It’s advanced territory but the glassy conditions will make it clean and lined-up. Expect some crowds though. This is the pick of the entire run.

Monday morning (14th September) offers another good session with 4ft NW swell, 12-second period, and dead calm winds – glassy perfection. Energy is moderate (478). A very close second pick, but Sunday’s extra 1-second period gives it the edge for shape.

After that, the second week (from the 15th onward) gets smaller and chancier. Thursday morning (17th September) has a 4ft WNW swell but with a short period of 7 seconds, and while the wind is clean, the swell will be weak and un-powerful. Saturday morning (19th September) has glassy conditions and 3ft NW swell with a 12-second period, so it’s clean but marginal. Sunday afternoon (20th September) brings a small 3ft NW swell with clean wind – a glassy cruiser for those who just need to get wet. The final week fades to tiny 1.0–2ft leftover energy (47–78) with no real punch.

So to sum it up: Sunday morning (13th) is your gold standard. Thursday morning (10th) and Monday morning (14th) are your strong backups. The rest is either small, messy, or waiting for the next pulse. Keep an eye on the long-range Saturday morning (19th) – it could be a light wind glass-off if it cleans up. Get out there for that Sunday session.
