The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Anglet - VVF over the next couple of weeks.
We start this Sunday morning, August 30, with a nice clean start. The water is about average for the season. First session is a beauty: glassy, no wind, with a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW at 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 412 (moderate). Real calm, real surfable.
Sunday afternoon the wind shifts to a NW cross-on at 12 mph, and it gets choppy and messy. Not worth it.
Monday the 31st is a total write-off with cross-on winds and a bumpy 5ft to 6ft swell. Tuesday morning, September 1, offers a bit of relief with a light ENE wind, clean conditions, and a 5ft NW swell. Still a 10 second period, energy at 392. It’s okay, but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday morning, September 2, is glassy again with a tiny 3ft NW swell and weak energy (123). You could get out if you’re keen, but it’s small. The rest of the week through Friday the 4th is mostly poor with onshore winds and small, weak waves.
Now, the real standout. Saturday, September 5 is the day. Morning brings a solid 7ft NW swell with a 13 second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 1423 (strong). The wind is light and offshore from the east, so the waves will be clean and powerful. This is for experienced surfers only – 7ft is big, with a long period, so it’ll be best at the reef or point breaks. The afternoon stays clean with a 7ft NW swell and cross-off wind. This is the one to chase.
Sunday the 6th is a step down. Morning is glassy with a 4ft WNW swell, but energy down to 369. Still a fun session for intermediates.
The following week: Tuesday, September 8, morning is glassy with a 4ft WNW swell, 11 second period, energy at 359. Friday the 11th morning looks promising – a 5ft WNW swell with a very long 14 second period, glassy. That’s groundswell, so expect nice lines but better at the points and reefs. Energy is 856 (moderate-strong). Afternoon gets a bit cross and lumpy.
From Saturday the 12th onward, it’s onshore winds and lumpy, messy surf. Not worth it.
So, the best is Saturday, September 5 morning – big, clean, powerful NW groundswell with offshore wind. Second best is Friday, September 11 morning – long period groundswell with glassy conditions. Everything else is small or blown out.
Stay sharp, and keep your eye on that big Saturday.
