The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Anglet over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start of this forecast is a write-off. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak swell with onshore winds, so don’t even bother paddling out until Thursday the 20th of August. That’s when things start to get interesting.
The best window we’ve got lands on Thursday morning, the 20th of August. The water’s running a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. The swell comes in from the NW at 4ft, with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading of 304 (moderate) backs it up. With glassy conditions and a light WSW wind, Anglet - VVF is going to be clean. This is a solid, fun-sized day for advanced surfers. The break is fairly consistent, but keep an eye out for crowds—they can pop up at times.
Friday the 21st sees a bump in size to 5ft from the NW, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are marginal. The energy is up at 475 (moderate), but the quality isn’t there. Saturday the 22nd is a better bet for the morning. Swell drops a touch to 4ft, still from the NW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is 235 (moderate). It’s surfable and clean, but nothing to call your mates about.
Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are small and glassy, with swell around 3ft to 3ft from the NW, but the energy is low (65-89). You’ll get a few foam climbs, but it’s very ordinary.
The next real standout is a long-range call for Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shows a 4ft WNW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and a clean offshore ESE wind at 6 mph. The combined energy sits at 232 (moderate). This is a promising window, but it’s over a week out, so keep the hopes in check. It’s a clean, lined-up morning for the advanced crew at Anglet - VVF.
After that, the swell fades again into early September, with small, weak pulses and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing to write home about.
So, the pick of the bunch is clear: Thursday morning the 20th of August for the best combo of clean conditions and proper groundswell. Saturday the 29th of August is the long-range second look. Don’t waste your time on the rest.
Rusty.
