The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next few weeks are looking pretty quiet for Anglet – VVF, with a serious lull setting in after a brief window of decent surf. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is the Tuesday morning of the 28th of July. For a few hours, it’s game on. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, giving it moderate energy (362). The wind is light and offshore from the east, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is advanced territory, but for those who can handle it, that’s the pick of the forecast. Expect crowds possible here.
After that morning, it’s a long, slow grind. The wind swings around onshore or cross-shore for the rest of that Tuesday, and the quality drops hard. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, the surf is mostly poor. Sizes drop under 3ft, period drops short, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a gap of almost two weeks where the surf really isn’t worth paddling out for.
Then on the 12th of August, we get a bit of a late spark. Wednesday morning looks interesting with a stronger 5ft swell from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and a solid energy reading (441). The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a major positive. The waves will be clean and powerful. That size is getting into expert territory, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. The afternoon looks a bit more marginal with an onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is the morning of the 28th of July. The second-week hope is the morning of the 12th of August, but that’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
