The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s look at the outlook for VVF (France) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough stretch. The next week is mostly small, wind-affected, and uninspiring. We’ve got a solid week of frustrating conditions from July 27th all the way through to about August 7th. The exception is a brief clean-up on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th, but that’s it. We then hit a proper lull, with almost nothing rideable for days after that. The real hope lands on Sunday, August 9th.
The Best on Offer
For the advanced crew, the standout window is Sunday morning, August 9th. After a week of nothing, you wake up to clean, glassy conditions with a NW groundswell pushing in at 5ft, a period of 10 seconds, and moderate wave energy (412). The offshore wind is glassy, meaning those waves will be peeling nicely. That’s your session.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you can lose the steamer and just enjoy the warm bath.
Before that, the only other half-decent chance is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. It’s small at 4ft with a clean easterly offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (362), so it’ll be a bit chunky, but at least it’s clean.
The Rest of the Period
From the afternoon of the 28th onward, it’s a write-off. Wind goes onshore or cross-shore, the swell drops to knee-high dribble, and period drops to 6-7 seconds. From August 3rd to August 7th, we are looking at swell heights below 2ft and combined energy readings in the teens and twenties – that’s dead flat. The long-period 13-second wave on Friday, August 7th is only 1.0ft, so it’s just a ghost.
Don’t bother paddling out on the afternoons; the onshore wind will turn anything into a washing machine. For the beach break here, with the onshore wind and choppy conditions, this set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the window.
This is a classic summer lull. The forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, circle that Sunday morning, August 9th, and don’t even look at the surf forecast until then.
Rusty.
