The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at Anglet - VVF. It's a mixed bag for sure, but there are a few moments that'll get the heart racing. The water is warm, coming in at 74°, which is much warmer than we'd usually expect for this time of year – a real treat.
Right now on Thursday morning, it's clean with a tiny 2ft NW swell, but the energy is weak (32). Honestly, it's just not worth suiting up. Thursday afternoon is a little bigger at 2ft, but a cross-shore wind messes it up. We're in a quiet spell here.
Friday the 4th morning is the first real glimmer of hope. We've got a glassy 2ft WNW swell – it's clean, small, and just about surfable. The pulse is still weak (57) though, so expectations need to be low.
Things start to wake up on Saturday the 5th. The morning is still marginal with a light cross-onshore wind and 3ft NW swell, but the energy jumps to a moderate 233. The real standout of the whole forecast is Saturday afternoon. The wind goes dead glassy, and a beautiful 5ft groundswell from the NW pulses in with a long 13-second period. The energy ramps up to 747. Conditions will be excellent, with clean, well-shaped waves. That's the session to point your board at, but be aware it's an advanced break and you might find a few other locals in the water.
Sunday morning the 6th is a step down – 5ft NW swell but with a cross-on breeze, making it a bit of a gamble. The energy is still strong (552), but the wind isn't doing us any favours. Sunday afternoon gets blown out by a strong onshore wind.
We get a bit of a lull heading into Monday and Tuesday. There's a fun window on Tuesday morning the 8th though: a clean 4ft NW groundswell (11-second period) under a light cross-offshore wind. Energy is good at 352. It’s worth a look for the savvy surfer.
A few more clean mornings pop up – Thursday the 10th morning has clean 4ft NW swell under a light offshore wind (energy 225), and then things drop off again for nearly a week. The energy levels get pretty weak, barely breaking 100, though there are a couple of clean mornings with small, ordinary waves.
Then, look ahead to Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning brings a very promising window: a clean 4ft NW groundswell (11-second period) under a light offshore breeze from the east. The energy is solid at 383. Then Thursday the 17th of September morning is also good – a clean 4ft swell from the NNW with a gentle offshore wind and energy of 262. These are the real promising long-range calls.
As we head into the final days, the energy drops away again, finishing with a glassy but tiny 2ft NW swell on Friday the 18th morning.
So, to wrap it up: Saturday the 5th afternoon is your absolute best bet for clean, punchy, standout surf. Keep an eye on the morning windows around Tuesday the 8th and the following week on September 16th and 17th for some other quality, clean sessions.
Stay stoked,
Rusty.
