The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s cookin’ for Anglet - VVF. This is a full-on, exposed beach break, so it’s a direct line to whatever the Atlantic is throwing. We’ve got a long, flat spell to start, then a bit of a rumble later on.
First thing you’ll notice – the water is a toasty 77°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s super unusual. Leave the steamer at home, it’s boardies weather.
The first week is a total dud. From Tuesday 14 July all the way through Thursday 23 July, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. Heights are a measly 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the NNW with periods under 6 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real waves. The combined energy is weak, running between 8 and 52 (weak energy). The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There’s a glassy moment on Thursday 16 July morning, but the swell is still only 2ft, so it’s barely a ripple. It’s a real dead zone for a solid ten days.
Then, things perk up a bit. Around Friday 24 July morning, we get a long-period groundswell of 2ft from the NW with a 14-second period. The combined energy jumps to 316 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s clean. This is a proper groundswell, but it’s small. The long period means it’ll be a bit straight on this beach break – not the best shape, but it’s the first real sign of life.
The big highlight, and it’s a long-range call so don’t book the day off yet, is Saturday 25 July. We’ve got a solid 7ft to 7ft swell from the WNW/NW, with an 11-second period, and a combined energy of 1018 (strong wave energy). That’s a serious pulse. The wind is onshore from the West at 10 to 12 mph, which is a bummer, but this is a proper set of waves. At 7ft, this is for experts only – it’s gonna be heavy and powerful. The onshore wind will make it lumpy, but for the experienced guys, there’ll be some big, raw walls. This is the best on offer, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
Sunday 26 July drops back to 5ft, still from the NW, with onshore wind. The energy is 570 (moderate wave energy). Still surfable, but less clean.
The end of the forecast, from Monday 28 July morning, gives us a cleaner, smaller option. On Tuesday 28 July morning, we have 5ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is 382 (moderate wave energy). That’s a beautiful window of clean, waist-high waves with no wind. It’s not huge, but it’ll be fun on a log or a fish. The next morning, Wednesday 29 July, is similar: 4ft, glassy, with a 9-second period. Both of these mornings are the real sweet spots for the average surfer – clean, manageable, and fun.
So, bottom line: a slow start, a big, raw, expert-only pulse on the 25th, and then a clean, mellow finish. Don’t bother with the first week. Set your alarm for the mornings of the 28th and 29th for the cleanest waves.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anglet - VVF may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
