The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
First up, the outlook kicks off on Monday morning, September 7th, but honestly, the surf is pretty marginal. We've got a 3ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is only 323. That's weak, so don't get your hopes up. The wind is onshore, and it's nothing special. The afternoon gets worse with a drop in size and a messy cross-on wind.
Tuesday, September 8th, is a write-off. The energy drops to 226, and the wind stays onshore. It's a flat spell.
Wednesday, September 9th, shows a pulse of energy. The morning sees a 6ft NW swell with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 475 (moderate). However, the wind is cross-shore, and the conditions are only marginal. For afternoon, the swell drops to 4ft, but the wind picks up to 12 mph, making it choppy. Not great.
Now, Thursday morning, September 10th, is where things start to look up. We have a 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 355 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 3 mph, which means clean waves. This is a solid option for the advanced crew at Anglet - VVF.
Friday, September 11th, is a mixed bag. The morning is glassy with no wind, but the swell is tiny at 2ft with a short 9-second period. The energy is a weak 84. It's surfable if you're desperate, but it's not a standout. The afternoon gets messy again.
Saturday, September 12th, is similar. The morning is glassy, but the swell is just 2ft with an 8-second period. Energy is a paltry 50. By afternoon, the wind turns onshore.
Sunday, September 13th, brings a bigger swell. The morning has a 4ft NW swell with a nice 13-second period, but the energy jumps to 489 (moderate). The wind is onshore, so it's not clean. The afternoon sees a 5ft swell and energy of 755 (strong), but the wind is cross-on, creating chop.
The best of the forecast. Monday, September 14th, is the one to circle. The morning is glassy, absolutely flat calm. The swell is 5ft from the NW with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 603 (moderate). The water temp is about average for this time of year. Expect clean, well-shaped waves at Anglet - VVF (advanced). This is your window.
After that, Tuesday, September 15th, the morning is glassy again, but the swell drops to 3ft with a 10-second period. Energy is 216. It's a good morning for a small-wave board, but nothing to shout about.
Wednesday, September 16th, morning is looking promising. A 5ft NW swell with a 12-second period, combined energy of 699 (strong), and a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean waves on offer. This is another strong contender.
Thursday, September 17th, the swell holds at 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, so the quality drops. It's a bit of a washing machine.
Friday, September 18th, morning is a beauty. Glassy conditions, 5ft NW swell, 10-second period, and energy of 509 (strong). This is a fantastic morning, clean and powerful.
The following week sees a drop-off. Saturday, September 19th, morning is glassy with a 4ft swell, but the energy is dropping. By Sunday, it's back to cross-on winds and choppy conditions. The final days, Monday and Tuesday, September 21st and 22nd, are small and clean but with weak energy (117 and 75). Okay for a longboard, but not a highlight.
So, to sum it up: the standouts are Monday morning, September 14th and Friday morning, September 18th. Both offer glassy, clean conditions with solid, moderate energy swell from the NW. The swell is over 5ft, so it's for the more experienced surfers. For the rest of the period, the afternoons are generally a mess. The crowds at Anglet - VVF can be an issue, so get there early.
Rusty.
