The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Anglet - VVF.
We’re starting with a gap, no doubt. Friday the 21st is a total washout – rain showers, a messy cross-onshore wind, and a 6ft NW swell that’s just not working. The energy is moderate (724), but the conditions are poor. Don’t bother paddling out.
From Friday afternoon through the following Thursday, it’s a long, quiet stretch. The swell drops off a cliff, and the wind is all over the place. Saturday the 22nd morning is your first real chance – a clean 4ft NW swell with a sweet offshore easterly breeze at 9 mph. The energy is a moderate 241, and it’ll be clean. It’s a small, fun, beginner-friendly wave, nothing special. That afternoon the wind goes cross-offshore, and the swell drops to 4ft, still okay. Sunday the 23rd is tiny, barely 2ft, with weak energy (62). It’s a waist-high dribble with clean conditions, but it’s pretty ordinary. The rest of that week is a mix of tiny swell, poor wind directions, and weak energy. Thursday the 28th morning sees a jump to 6ft from the WNW, but the wind is onshore, and the energy is moderate (792). It’s not great.
Now, here’s the big one. Friday the 28th afternoon. This is a day to remember. The swell is a solid 10ft from the WNW with a 11-second period, giving it a very strong, long-period groundswell feel. The combined energy is a massive 1873. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which is a bit of a bummer, but the real problem is that 10ft is too big for this break. It’s experts only. The report says the swell is predicted to be too big for this spot, so if you’re not a very advanced surfer, watch from the sand. The direction is a good match for the W optimum.
The second week is a mixed bag. Saturday the 29th drops back to 5ft NW with onshore winds, poor. Sunday the 30th, the morning glass-off with a 4ft NW swell, clean conditions, but weak energy (180). It’s knee-to-waist high and ordinary. The next real glimmer of hope is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning shows a clean 3ft NW swell, with a light offshore easterly wind at 6 mph. The energy is a moderate 238, and the conditions are clean. This is a solid, fun, beginner-friendly wave with good winds. It’s the best of the second week.
So to wrap it up: the first week is poor, with a massive, expert-only spike on the 28th afternoon. The second week is quiet, with a nice, clean, small swell on the 5th of September being the best bet for most.
Rusty.
