The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, looking at the surf for Anglet - VVF.
We've got a slow start, but patience is going to pay off. The opening days are pretty flat and the wind is all over the show, messing up any chance of clean waves. Water temp is sitting at 76°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – you might not need that full wetsuit.
Thursday the 27th through to Friday the 28th are write-offs. The swell is tiny, maybe 1 to 4ft, and the wind is either glassy but with no power, or cross-on making it choppy. The combined energy is weak – not worth paddling out for.
Things start to show a pulse on Saturday the 29th. The morning looks promising with clean, glassy conditions as the wind swings out of the east at 3 mph. We've got a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 354 (moderate). It's a bit small, but the clean conditions make it surfable for the keen ones. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up with the wind.
Sunday the 30th morning is a real standout early on – offshore wind from the east at 3 mph, clean conditions, and a 5ft swell from the NW with 8-second period. The energy is moderate at 295. It's not big, but it's clean. The afternoon gets messy again.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September have some marginal surf, with the best being Tuesday morning – offshore wind from the ENE, 5ft WNW swell, period 10 seconds, and reasonable energy at 363. It's surfable, but don't expect perfection.
Midweek from Wednesday the 2nd to Friday the 4th is a bit of a lull. Swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross-on or light offshore. The energy is weak (61 to 148). You can get a wave, but it's ordinary.
Now, here's the real deal. The standout window is from Saturday the 5th of September onwards. Saturday morning brings a solid 5ft NW swell with a long 12-second period, offshore east wind at 3 mph, and clean conditions. The combined energy is a strong 656 – you'll feel that push. This is a proper groundswell, long period, which will wrap nicely into the point.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is also a gem – 5ft NW swell, 11-second period, glassy with a light NE wind, and energy at 505. It's clean, it's punchy, and it's going to be good.
The best of the whole run looks like Tuesday the 8th of September morning. Offshore wind from the east at 6 mph, a 6ft NW swell with an 11-second period, and the combined energy cranks up to 708 (strong). This is the one to circle. The waves will have real shape and power.
Later in the second week, Thursday the 10th of September sees a bump in size – 7ft from the NW, but with a shorter 9-second period and cross-shore wind. The energy is 715, but it's going to be a bit messy. That's for the experienced crew only.
After that, it fades back to small and ordinary.
So, the pick of the lot is definitely Tuesday the 8th of September morning. The swell direction is NW, the wind is offshore, and it's clean. That's where you want to be.
