The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the Anglet area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’ve got a solid block of poor conditions from now all the way through to the 19th of August. Small, weak swell and onshore or cross-on winds just making a mess of things. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 77°F right now – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. Good for a dip, not for a surf. You’ll be staring at flat, bumpy lines for the best part of a week.
Things finally start to look up on the morning of Thursday the 20th. Anglet - VVF picks up a 3ft NW swell, but the real story is the period jumping to 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits a moderate 214, and with glassy conditions, that morning session is your first real chance. The swell direction (NW) is bang on for this break. By Friday morning the 21st, it gets even better – a solid 5ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period, strong energy reading of 433, and a light cross-off breeze. That’s clean, that’s got push, and that’s the standout of the first week. It’s an advanced wave, so only the crew with some experience should be paddling out.
Saturday morning the 22nd is still surfable with a clean offshore wind from the E and a 4ft NW swell, but it’s not as punchy. After that, we slip back into a long, flat, and bumpy gap right through to the 29th.
Now, looking into the second week, there’s a promising but less certain window opening up. On the 30th of August, Sunday morning, we see a bigger 5ft NW groundswell pushing in with a very long 12-second period and a massive energy reading of 670. That’s strong, powerful water. The wind is onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but there’s enough energy to get excited about for the experts. Then Monday the 31st morning brings a cleaner 4ft NW swell, glassy conditions, and a solid 355 energy reading – that’s likely the best of the late run if it holds.
So, to wrap it up: the first real window to get wet is Thursday the 20th morning. The true standout is Friday the 21st morning for quality. The long-range glimmer is Monday the 31st morning, but keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
