Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it folks. Rusty here.

First up, it’s been a bit of a flat start. Friday the 28th looks pretty grim with weak, short-period swell and onshore winds. The surf quality is poor, so don’t bother paddling out that day. The combined energy is only around 244, which is weak. We’re waiting for things to turn around.

The real action kicks off Saturday morning, the 29th of August. Anglet - VVF is the spot. We’ve got a clean 6ft WNW swell pushing in, period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy – absolute glass – and it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The combined energy jumps to 627 (moderate). This is the standout session of the first week. Expect very good conditions. It’s an advanced break, and with conditions this good, it could get a bit crowded.

Sunday the 30th morning is another beauty. Glassy conditions again, with a 5ft NW swell, period bumping up to 11 seconds. Energy is 561. Another very good session on tap. Wind stays light from the ENE.

Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September have clean mornings too, with 5ft NW swell and glassy wind, but the energy drops back to the 300-400 range. Solid, but not the highlight. The afternoons get choppy.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. From Wednesday the 2nd through to Friday the 4th, the swell drops right off. We’re looking at small, weak waves and onshore winds. Not worth a paddle. Energy falls below 100. The gap here is about 3 days of nothing.

Now, here’s the second standout. On Saturday the 5th of September, we get a special one. The swell is tiny at 3ft, but hold on – that period is 14 seconds! This is a very long period groundswell. Combined energy shoots up to 584. Glassy conditions in the morning. It won't be big, but that long period will wrap in and produce some beautiful, lined-up waves at a break like Anglet - VVF. Best for more experienced surfers, as the period is very long. It’s a promising call for the first week of September, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it.

Sunday the 6th morning is also clean with E wind and a 4ft NW swell, period 11 seconds. Energy at 487. Good.

The following week from the 7th onwards sees smaller surf with NW swell fading from 4ft down to 2ft. The mornings offer some clean windows, but the energy is low. Nothing to get too excited about.

In short: Your best windows are Saturday the 29th of August morning and Saturday the 5th of September morning. Don’t bother before Saturday the 29th.

Rusty.
