The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, crew. Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off for Anglet – VVF. The water’s sitting at a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s something.
Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are a write-off. The swell is tiny, around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is all over the place. The combined energy is weak, only 47 to 126, and the conditions are just poor. Nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 7th morning is a tease. We get a glassy 3ft from the NNW, but it’s a short-period wind swell with only 66 of energy. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The afternoon turns choppy again.
The weekend is no good. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are tiny, with the swell dropping to 2ft, and the energy is a pathetic 18 to 74. Sunday morning is glassy, but the swell is just too weak to do anything with.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are a bit of a mix. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NW, and on Tuesday morning the wind is a clean cross-off with ENE winds. The energy is a moderate 138, but the waves are still just “ordinary”. It’s a step in the right direction, but not the standout.
Now, the real talk. The morning of Tuesday the 18th of August is where it’s at. The combined energy jumps to 759, which is strong energy. We’re looking at a 6ft groundswell from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper, powerful swell. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so the surf will be clean. This is the best on offer by a long shot. For the advanced crew, this is your window. The swell is big enough to be a handful for beginners, but it’s clean and powerful. Because it’s a longer period swell, it’ll be better shaped at the points and reefs, but Anglet is a beach break, so it might be a bit straight. Still, it’s a proper session.
The rest of the second week is a bit of a let-down after that. The 18th afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, and the 19th and 20th drop back to small, clean but weak pulses.
So, the long and short of it: you’ve got a long, flat run until the 18th of August. That Tuesday morning is the one. It’s a promise, but it’s a bit far out, so keep an eye on it. The rest is just small and ordinary.
Rusty, signing off.
