The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the Anglet area.
Right, straight up – this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long dry spell to start with, and honestly, there’s not a single stand-out, rippable day in the entire 16-day window. The forecast is pretty flat and messy for the next two weeks. If you were hoping for a classic French beach break barrel, you’re going to be disappointed. Let’s break it down.
From Wednesday, the 15th through to the 22nd, the swell is tiny, barely scraping 2ft to 2ft, and it’s mostly weak, short-period windswell from the NW and NNW with a combined energy that’s barely registering – mostly between 17 and 64 (weak energy). The wind is a constant problem too, either cross-on or onshore, and the reports keep calling it poor surf conditions. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 77°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels more like a bath than the Bay of Biscay. But that’s about the only plus.
The one moment that looks a little different is the morning of Saturday the 26th. A bit of a longer period WNW groundswell (11 seconds) rolls in, giving us a combined energy of 51. The swell height is still only 1ft, so it’s not going to be a world-beater, but with the slightly better period, there’s a bit more shape to work with. The wind is light and onshore from the WNW, so you might find a cleanish crumbler at Anglet - VVF if you’re desperate for a paddle. But don’t expect any power.
Further into the second week, around the 28th, we see a bump in size with 3ft swell from the WNW on Tuesday, but the wind is a fresh 12 mph onshore and the period drops back to 5-6 seconds, making for weak, choppy conditions. Rubbish.
The only real glimmer is very early on the morning of the 29th. The wind goes glassy, dropping to 3 mph from the ENE, and we get a 2ft NW swell. The combined energy is 60 (still weak), but the complete calm and clean conditions mean Anglet - VVF could actually be fun for a log or a mid-length. It’s surfable, just very ordinary. But for a tiny window, you could get a few fun ones.
Honestly, the best advice is to keep your board in the car and check the cam, because this is mostly a kite-surfing kind of week, unless you’re just happy to float around. For a break that is fairly consistent, this is a blank run – but it happens.
Rusty.
