Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Anglet area.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell on the way, but the wind is going to be a real pain in the arse for most of it. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s damn unusual, feels like a tropical bath out there.

The standout session is going to be Tuesday morning, July 28th at Anglet – VVF. We’ve got a clean 4ft of swell from the NW, with a 10-second period pushing a moderate wave energy (362). The real kicker is the wind – it’s blowing from the E, making it offshore and glassy. That’s about as clean as it gets. The swell is a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be firing. Just keep an eye out for the crowds, as it can get busy.

The Tuesday afternoon session on the 28th is also worth a look, with 4ft from the NW and a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things tidy. That’s a solid second option for the day.

After that, it gets pretty grim. From Wednesday the 29th right through the end of July and into the first week of August, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, ruining what little swell there is. You’ll see a few days with knee-to-waist high waves, but it’s mostly choppy and poor. The energy drops right off, with some days barely registering in the weak category (under 100).

There’s a flicker of hope on Sunday morning, August 9th. We get a bit of a pulse: 4ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and moderate energy (278). The wind is from the NNE, giving us a clean, cross-offshore flow. It’s a long way off, so don’t book the week off work yet, but it’s the only other morning that looks genuinely surfable in the whole 16-day run.

The rest of the second week is mostly small, weak, and wind-affected. The morning of August 5th shows a tiny 2ft pulse with glassy conditions, but it’s barely worth a paddle.

So, to sum it up: your best bet is next Tuesday the 28th. Everything else is either blown out, too small, or just a waiting game for that promising Sunday morning on the 9th of August.

Rusty.
