The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bleak start. From Tuesday the 21st right through to Sunday the 26th, we’re looking at a solid week of nothing worth paddling for. That’s seven days of poor surf conditions, small weak swell, and onshore winds messing things up. The water’s sitting at 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real anomaly, almost 7° warmer than usual, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, but there’s no wave to enjoy it on.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday the 27th, but it’s still marginal. Swell picks up to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 9–10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 508 (moderate). That’s got some push, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Not the day to call in sick for.
Now, Tuesday the 28th is where it gets interesting. That morning, we’ve got clean conditions – glassy, with a light NE breeze, and the swell holding at 5ft from the NW, period 10 seconds (groundswell), with 416 energy. That’s a solid pulse. This is the standout. The break to hit is Anglet - VVF. It’s an advanced spot, fairly consistent, and you’ll want to be on it early Tuesday morning. The swell direction from the NW lines up well with the optimum W direction here. Crowds are sometimes an issue, but on a Tuesday morning before the wind picks up, you might get a few sets to yourself. The water is still that warm anomaly, so a spring suit is all you’ll need.
Wednesday the 29th morning is also decent – 5ft NW groundswell, clean offshore wind from the east, and 363 energy. That’s a good backup session. After that, the swell fades through the end of the week into early August, with mostly poor conditions returning. The second week looks thin, with only small, weak swells and onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the best window is Tuesday morning the 28th. Get out there early, aim for Anglet - VVF, and enjoy that clean, glassy groundswell. The rest of the run is a write-off until the forecast changes.
Rusty.

Information about the Anglet - VVF Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anglet - VVF provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anglet - VVF can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
