The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee, let's get into it. The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag for us here. We’ve got some decent pulses of north-west swell lined up, but the wind is going to be the main character for a lot of it, with some really clean windows to look forward to if you’ve got the patience.

First up, we’re looking at a pretty slow start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell. We’re talking about marginal dribble with onshore wind. Don't even bother looking at it until Thursday the 20th. Even then, it’s a bit of a tease. Thursday morning brings a jump in the swell to about 4 ft from the NW with a period just over 11 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy affair. The energy is still pretty moderate.

We finally get a real pulse of swell on the Saturday of the 22nd of August. This is where it gets interesting. The swell builds to 4 ft from the NW with a decent 9-second period, but the real story is the wind. We’ve got light offshore and cross-offshore winds all day – Saturday morning it’s a cross-off from the SE, and by the afternoon, it's pure offshore from the East. The water temp feels pretty standard for this time of year. Clean conditions. Anglet - VVF is the spot. This is the best the week has to offer. The swell direction is right in the zone for this break. It’s an advanced wave, so it won't be for everyone, and it can get crowded here sometimes, so keep your wits about you. The morning will be glassy, the afternoon clean. A true standout.

Sunday the 23rd looks alright too. Swell drops to 3 ft, but wind stays offshore or cross-offshore. It's clean, but it'll be pretty ordinary and weaker. We then hit a flat and windy patch from Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 27th. Some onshore junk and tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell. A real lull.

Now, hold on for the next standout. On Thursday the 27th of August, things get wild again with a bigger swell – 6 ft from the NW – but the onshore wind is back in the morning, and it's messy. Not worth it. But, look further ahead. Friday the 28th of August is a cracker. The swell has dropped back to a punchy 4 ft from the NW, but we get offshore wind from the ESE in the morning. That north-west groundswell has a nice 10-second period. Clean as a whistle. Again, Anglet - VVF is your spot. This is the second standout and probably the best session of the second week.

After that, we get another clean spell on the 30th and 31st of August with some cross-offshore and offshore winds, but the swell hangs around the 3 ft mark. Then the start of September is a real treat. The morning of the 1st of September is clean, and by the afternoon of the 1st of September, it’s glassy with a 4 ft WNW swell. The conditions will be perfect.

Topping it off, Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September looks beautiful. Sunny, glassy, with a 5 ft NW swell and a 9-second period. That’s a morning to have marked in the calendar.

Rusty.
