The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Anglet - VVF over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a slow start. The first few days are a write-off. We’re looking at a real flat spell from now through to Wednesday the 5th. Swell is tiny, 1.0ft to 2ft, and the wind is all over the place. Don’t even bother paddling out; the energy is weak (32 to 49 combined energy). It’s going to be a frustrating few days staring at a lake.
Things start to stir on Thursday the 6th of August. There’s a little bump of 3ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 153, which is moderate, so there’s something to push you around. The morning is the pick, with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s still nothing to write home about, but it’s surfable.
We get a bit of a lull again through the weekend, but Monday the 10th of August morning is a real standout. The wind goes glassy from the NE, and we’ve got 4ft of NW swell. The energy is moderate (145). It’s not going to be massive, but that glassy surface will make it super clean. The break is exposed to the west swell, so it’s handling the direction well. It’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves. Just keep an eye out for crowds, they can be around sometimes.
The second week gets a bit mushy again. Tuesday the 11th morning has another glassy window with a smaller 2ft, but it’s clean. After that, it’s a long stretch of onshore wind and messy conditions. The swell hangs around, but the quality drops right off. By Sunday the 16th of August morning, we get a nice reprieve with a light offshore from the E and 3ft of NW swell. The energy is 105, so it’s moderate, and the wind will keep it clean. That’s another good window.
The very end of the run, Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, sees a building swell of 4ft to 4ft, but the wind is howling onshore at 12 to 18 mph. It’s just going to be a messy, choppy mess. Not worth it for a paddle board.
So, overall, the best on offer is the glassy morning of Monday the 10th of August. If you can get out then, you’ll get the cleanest waves of the period. The Sunday the 16th morning is a solid backup.
Rusty.
