The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with ya – the next 16 days at Anglet - VVF are a real mixed bag, and honestly, mostly a flat, frustrating one. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead before any real energy shows up, and even then, the wind is going to be a constant battle.
The water is sitting at a very warm 76° – that’s a whopping 5° above the norm for this time of year, so it’s feeling more like a tropical bath than a Basque summer. That’s a rare treat, if nothing else.
For the first week, from Saturday the 1st through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a barely-there kind of scene. Tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, coming from the NW with a short, weak period around 6-8 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, hovering between 18 and 69 – that’s a whisper, not a roar. The wind is a constant pain, mostly cross-on or onshore from the NW, chopping up whatever little ripple there is. There’s a glimmer early on Saturday morning (1st) with a glassy, 2 ft NW swell, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The only real clean spell is Thursday morning (6th) with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 2 ft bump, but it’s still a knee-high dribble.
Then we hit the standouts. The only window worth paddling out for is Sunday the 9th through to Wednesday the 12th. Sunday morning (9th) is the best on offer – a clean 4 ft WNW swell with a period of 8 seconds and a solid moderate combined energy of 232. The wind is light onshore, but that’s the only thing holding it back from being a ripper. Monday morning (10th) is also very clean and glassy, with a 3 ft NW swell and 119 energy – perfect for a longboard or a fish. Wednesday morning (12th) sees another glassy dawn with a 2 ft WNW swell, but the energy is decent at 125. For the advanced surfers, that 4 ft on Sunday is the pick, but keep in mind the light onshore wind will put a little bump on it.
After that, from Thursday the 13th onwards, it flatlines again. Tiny, junky waves and cross-shore winds dominate. The 16th (Sunday) sees a 4 ft NW swell, but with a crappy 7-second period and onshore wind, it’ll be a washing machine. Not worth it.
So, the call is simple: if you’ve got a board for small, clean waves, keep your eyes on the mornings of the 9th, 10th, and 12th. The rest of the time, it’s a beach day.
Rusty.
