The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’ve got here at Anglet - VVF over the next couple of weeks. The water’s a warm 76°, which is well above average for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. But the surf? It’s gonna take a while to get going.
The first few days are flat and choppy – not much to talk about. Thursday the 6th morning brings a little life: a 3ft NW swell with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 143 (moderate). The wind is a light offshore from the NE, so it’s clean. Still very ordinary conditions, but it’s the first real window.
The weekend is a dud – small, messy, cross-on wind. Not worth paddling out.
Then Monday the 10th afternoon offers a bit more energy (123), but it’s cross-on and sloppy. Pass.
Tuesday the 11th morning is where it gets interesting. The wind goes glassy from the NE, the swell is 3ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the energy reads 186 (moderate). It’s clean, small, and the break is exposed so it’ll catch anything. Crowds are possible sometimes, but if you’re early, you’ll have fun.
It goes quiet again until the 15th, which offers a glassy Saturday morning but only 3ft of short-period NW windswell – not much push.
The real standout is further out. On Tuesday the 18th, a long-period NW groundswell arrives: 4ft with a 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 532 (strong). That’s a serious pulse. The wind is cross-off on the morning of the 19th, glassy from the NE, and the swell holds at 4ft with a 10-second period. Expect good surf conditions. This is the one to aim for – long-range, but it’s the best looking window of the whole outlook. The longer period will give better shaped waves, though it might get a bit walled off at the beach if it’s too straight. Keep it on your radar.
So, overall: a slow start with a couple of small windows, but the real quality is tucked away in the second week. Tuesday the 19th morning is your best bet. The rest of the run is mostly flat or messy.
