The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, checking in on the waves over the next couple of weeks.
First up, we’re looking at Anglet - VVF (advanced). The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The week kicks off with a bit of a slow start, but there’s something to get excited about.
Thursday 10 September morning – we’ve got a solid 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period, pushing moderate wave energy (311). The wind is a light ESE cross-off, leaving the surf clean. This is your best bet early on – it’s a standout for the first few days. Expect good conditions, but it’s an advanced spot, so not for the faint-hearted.
Friday 11 September morning – the swell drops to 2ft NW, but it’s dead glassy with zero wind. That’s a major positive for clean lines, though the energy is weak (83). It’s a small, surfable wave, but nothing to write home about.
Saturday 12 September morning – similar story: 2ft NW, glassy, weak energy (70). Okay for a longboard or a foiler, but don’t expect to get buckled.
Sunday 13 September morning – now we’re talking. A 4ft NW groundswell arrives with a 13-second period, and the energy jumps to a strong 555. The wind is WSW and offshore, making for clean conditions. This is a proper groundswell – long period means better shape and more push, but it’s a point break setup, so it’s going to reel off nicely. This is our second standout.
Monday 14 September morning – another good one. 4ft NW, 11-second period, with moderate to strong energy (456). Dead calm, glassy. The surf is clean and good. Another morning to get wet.
Tuesday 15 September morning – drops back to 3ft NW, glassy, but energy is weak (139). Ordinary.
Wednesday 16 September – the swell builds to 6ft NW, but the wind is howling onshore (12 mph) and it’s a choppy mess. Poor conditions. This one’s a write-off.
Thursday 17 September – wind is 19 mph onshore, and the swell is 4-5ft NW. Poor. Not worth it.
Friday 18 September – same story, onshore wind, poor.
Saturday 19 September morning – finally a break. 4ft NW with an 11-second period (406 energy) and a light offshore E breeze. Clean, good surf. This is a solid option for the weekend.
Sunday 20 September morning – 4ft NW, glassy, but the energy is moderate (409). Clean, surfable, but not huge.
Monday 21 September morning – here’s the big one. A 8ft NW groundswell with a 14-second period, delivering massive energy (2618). This is a long-period groundswell – it’s going to be powerful, with long lulls between sets. The wind is glassy, making for excellent conditions. But this is only for experts – 8ft+ is a serious paddle. If you’re a competent surfer, this is the best session of the whole forecast. Standout.
Tuesday 22 September morning – still solid at 5ft NW, 11-second period, glassy, with strong energy (595). Very good surf, but it’s a step down from Monday.
Wednesday 23 September – fading fast. 3ft NW, weak energy (113), poor conditions.
Thursday 24 September – down to 2ft NW, weak energy (67). Sloppy.
Friday 25 September morning – a little pulse: 3ft NW, 11-second period, with a light SE cross-off, clean. Energy is moderate (163). Surfable, but nothing to change your plans for.
The best on offer:
Without a doubt, Monday 21 September morning is the standout – that 8ft NW groundswell in glassy conditions is a proper session for experienced surfers only. The next best is Sunday 13 September morning with the offshore wind and 4ft groundswell, and Saturday 19 September morning for a clean, smaller option.
Crowds could be an issue on the best days – this spot is popular, and when it’s good, it’s busy. Keep that in mind.
Rusty.

Information about the Anglet - VVF Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anglet - VVF provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anglet - VVF can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anglet - VVF may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
