The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next two weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for Anglet - VVF. We’ve got a bit of a flat start, then a few pulses of swell, but the wind is going to be the main character for most of it. It’s not a total write-off, but you’ll need to pick your moments.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Friday the 24th through to Sunday the 26th are all showing poor surf conditions. We’ve got a tiny 2ft to 2ft swell with a short period, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak (27 to 588), so there’s just nothing to get excited about. Saturday morning sees a jump to 6ft, but it’s blown out by a 30 km/h onshore wind, so that’s a hard pass. Honestly, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Now, Monday the 27th morning is where things start to look a little interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the NW, with a good 11-second period (groundswell) and a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (242). It’s not huge, but those long-period waves will have some push and shape, and the clean conditions make it a solid option. The afternoon gets a bit more cross-onshore, so hit the morning session.
Tuesday the 28th morning is the real standout in this forecast. Glassy conditions, a light offshore breeze, and a 4ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (273). This is your best bet – clean, fun waves with a bit of push. The afternoon gets a bit of cross-shore chop, but the morning is prime.
Wednesday the 29th is a bit of a letdown after that. The swell drops to 3ft, with a shorter 9-second period. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the wave quality is just ordinary. Combined energy is light (162 to 132). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st see the swell drop further to 3ft, with weak energy (99 to 102). The wind is mostly light and glassy in the mornings, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. It’s a bit of a flat spell.
Saturday the 1st of August brings a bit of a lift, with a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a bit choppy. Combined energy is moderate (216). You could get a wave, but it’s not going to be clean.
Sunday the 2nd of August sees a spike in size – 5ft to 6ft from the NW with a good 11-second period. The combined energy gets strong (563 to 647). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be messy and choppy. For the experts, it might have some power, but for most, it’s a struggle.
Monday the 3rd of August morning is a bit of a wildcard. That 6ft NW swell with 11-second period is still there, and the wind is light and cross-shore. The combined energy is strong (659). It’s marginal, but if you’re experienced and can handle a bit of cross-shore bump, there’s some decent power. The afternoon turns cross-onshore again.
After that, the swell fades fast. Tuesday the 4th of August through the rest of the window is tiny, with 1ft to 3ft waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Combined energy is weak (33 to 107). It’s pretty much flat for the second week.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re keen, your best chance is Tuesday the 28th of July morning at Anglet - VVF (France). That’s the standout – glassy, clean, and a decent 4ft NW swell. The surf break is a beach setup, so with that long-period swell it might break a bit straight, but the clean conditions will make it fun. It’s fairly consistent here, but crowds are possible, so get in early. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Outside of that, the Monday the 27th morning is also worth a look for the long-period groundswell. The rest is a bit of a waiting game.
Rusty.
