The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Well, looking at Anglet - VVF over the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a slow burner. The water’s sitting at 77° in the early going, which is a solid 6° warmer than what you’d normally expect for late August – that’s very unusual, so it’ll feel like a warm bath out there.

For Sunday the 23rd, the morning’s the only real look for a surf. Swell’s a tiny 2ft out of the northwest with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 62. But the wind is glassy from the ESE at just 3 mph, so it’s clean as a whistle. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. After that, we’ve got a big dry spell. From Sunday afternoon right through until Saturday the 29th, conditions are poor. There’s a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 27th morning with 3ft from the WNW and glassy SW winds, giving us 158 energy – still just ordinary. By Friday the 28th, the swell jumps up to 7ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon out of the WNW with period up to 11 seconds. That’s a lot of energy – 804 and 1822 respectively – but the wind is cross-on or onshore both times. At over 8ft, it’s only for the experts anyway, and with that wind it’s just choppy. Not a good look. Saturday the 29th stays poor.

Now, the best of the bunch if you’re keen: Sunday the 30th morning. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds, and an easterly offshore breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 201, and the report says ‘expect good surf conditions’. That’s the standout. The break is exposed to swell and gets NW, which is close to optimum. The crowd can be ‘sometimes’ an issue, so heads up. After that, the run gets poor again through the first week of September. There’s a slight window on Wednesday the 2nd morning with 2ft NW and glassy WSW winds (energy 100) – surfable but nothing to rave about. By Thursday the 3rd, we’re back to tiny 2ft. Friday the 4th morning sees a bit of a pulse: 3ft NW with a 10-second period, offshore ESE breeze, and clean conditions – energy at 138. That’s another flicker but it’s still small. The second week stays patchy with mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, and the swell never really gets consistent quality. A few scattered days might get you wet, but nothing’s screaming ‘go’.

Alright, that’s the story. Keep your eye on Sunday the 30th for the cleanest ride.

Rusty.
