The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Anglet. We’re in for a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real gem hiding in the second week if you’ve got the patience.
The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are all tiny, weak, and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for. We’ve got a gap of nearly no surf until Wednesday morning the 26th, when we see a little 2ft pulse from the WNW with glassy conditions. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is weak (56).
Thursday the 27th morning is glassy again, but the swell is only 1ft with a short 8-second period, so it’s pretty gutless. The real action starts to build through Friday the 28th. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the WNW, but the wind is on it or cross-on, so it’s going to be a mess. The energy is getting moderate (349), but the conditions are poor.
Now, Saturday morning the 29th is where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got 5ft of NW swell with a 9-second period, clean glassy conditions, and zero wind. That’s going to be the best surf of the first week. The combined energy is solid at 338 (moderate). This is a standout for the week. The water is running at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardshorts.
Sunday the 30th through to Monday the 31st morning sees more clean windows with easterly or westerly breezes, and the swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft. Monday morning the 31st is looking good again with 5ft and glassy conditions, energy at 307. But the afternoons keep getting ruined by that NW cross-onshore.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning is another clean one with 5ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, and glassy ENE winds. That’s a solid morning session. Energy is pumping at 457 (moderate).
Now, here’s the real standout. Look at Tuesday the 8th of September morning. This is over a week out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the models are lighting up. We’ve got 4ft of WNW swell, but the period is a massive 19 seconds. That’s very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is a whopping 1187 (very strong). Offshore winds from the SE, glassy and clean. This is excellent surf. For a beach break like Anglet - VVF, that long period can make waves a bit straight and hard to bank off, but with that much energy and offshore wind, it’s going to be lined up and powerful. This is one for experienced surfers only. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up, but the morning is the pick of the whole forecast.
The following days trail off into smaller, weaker, and more onshore conditions. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September mornings have some clean glassy windows, but the swell is small.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a waiting game with Saturday morning the 29th being the best bet. The second week, the real gold is early Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
