The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Anglet - VVF. It’s a bit of a mixed bag with a couple of absolute gems hiding in there if you wait for the right window.
Right now, Saturday morning the 12th is flat and boring. That 2ft NW swell has no power (combined energy of all swells is a weak 72) and it’s just not worth paddling out for. Clean from the breeze, but too small to do anything.
Sunday the 13th is where the fun begins. A much better 4ft NW groundswell with a very long 13-second period starts to fill in. The real highlight is the glassy morning – no wind at all. The water is about 73°, which is a good 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like summer. The waves will have some real drive (545). This is the best session of the first week. It’s an advanced break, so expect some power. Crowds are possible, so dawn patrol is your friend.
Monday the 14th morning stays okay with 4ft and a light offshore breeze, but after that the wind turns onshore and the quality dives. Tuesday the 15th is a total loss with howling onshores and junk surf.
By Thursday the 17th, the swell picks up again to 5ft with a long 12-second period, giving it heaps of energy (644), but the cross-shore winds will mess it up. It’ll be lumpy.
Now, here’s the big one to plan for. Saturday the 19th. The morning forecast shows a solid 6ft of NW swell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a huge 1136. That’s a proper swell. And the wind? Glass. Dead calm. That is a recipe for epic, powerful waves at Anglet. This is for experts only at this size, but if you’re up for it, it will be the session of the forecast. Unreal.
The swell stays solid through the following week, but clean windows are rare. Sunday the 20th morning will be worth a surf with 4ft and glass (383). Monday the 21st afternoon has a massive 6ft swell with a 14-second period (1318), but the onshore wind makes it a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.
Hands down, the best on offer is Saturday the 19th morning. Big, long-period swell and zero wind. That’s the one. Sunday the 13th morning is a very close second for a more manageable size and perfect conditions.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, be ready to pull the trigger, and I’ll see you in the water.
