The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Anglet - VVF.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead before anything really gets going. The water is sitting at 76°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddling will be comfortable even if the waves are frustrating.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, the 4th of August, but don't get your hopes up. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW with a weak energy reading of only 47. The wind is a cross-on from the NNW at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. Not worth a paddle.
Wednesday the 5th is a tease. The morning shows a glassy 2ft, which sounds perfect, but the overall surf quality is still rated as poor. The swell is just too weak and short-period. The afternoon goes back to a cross-on breeze.
Thursday the 6th morning is the first hint of something better. We get a clean 3ft from the NW with a light cross-off breeze from the NE. The energy bumps up to a moderate 123, but it's still just surfable, not great. The afternoon falls back to poor conditions.
Friday the 7th morning is glassy again with a tiny 3ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. Saturday and Sunday are more of the same—small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore.
The First Real Standout
Now, hold on. The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August is where we start to see a pulse. The swell is 3ft from the NW, the period stretches to a nice 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the ENE. The energy is a solid 162. This is your best window in the first week. It’s not huge, but with clean, glassy conditions and a bit more push, Anglet should have some fun, clean lines. The afternoon will get choppy again, so get out early.
After that, we slide back into a hole of poor surf. The 12th through the 14th are all tiny, weak, and mostly onshore. It's a real drag.
The Big Finish, With a Catch
The second week finally throws some power at us. The morning of Saturday the 15th of August sees a jump to 4ft from the NW with a moderate energy of 216. The wind is onshore, so it’s messy, but there’s more size.
Then things get interesting. The 18th of August starts to build, but the winds are howling onshore at 12-19 mph, making it a complete mess. The energy is high, but it's not for surfing.
The Only True Standout in the 16-Day Window
Here is the one you have to circle on your calendar. Wednesday the 19th of August. The forecast shows a massive 12ft groundswell from the NW. The combined energy is a staggering 2749, which is enormous. The morning is glassy—dead calm from the NE. This is a monster swell with perfect conditions.
But—and this is a big but—this wave is rated for advanced surfers only. 12ft is well over the limit for beginners, and even for most intermediates. It’s a big, powerful ocean. The reports say the swell might be too big for this break, so it could be closing out or just be a washing machine. For the experienced crew who know how to handle this kind of power, it could be a session of the year. The afternoon will see the wind turn cross-on, making it even more challenging.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a patience game with a small, clean window on the 11th of August. The second week ends with a massive, dangerous, and potentially incredible swell on the 19th of August for experts only. Don't sleep on that 11th, and be ready for the 19th if you've got the skills.
Rusty.
