Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the table for Anglet over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first couple of days are a write-off, with tiny, onshore dribble. Real disappointment for a place like this, but don't toss the boards in the back of the truck just yet. The water's sitting at a balmy 73°, which is much warmer than we'd usually have at this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable.

Things start to wake up on Wednesday the 9th with a new NW swell. The morning looks promising with clean, cross-off wind and a solid 6ft swell rolling in at 9 seconds. The energy's there, and you'll feel it. The wind turns a bit ugly in the afternoon though, so make sure you get the dawny session. Thursday the 10th is another real standout. We've got a 4ft NW groundswell, and glassy conditions in the morning – that's the ticket. The wave energy is moderate and the tide should be working in your favour.

Saturday the 12th is a total rest day; just knee-high slop. Sunday the 13th shows a bump in size, a 5ft NW swell with a long 13-second period and strong energy, but that onshore wind in the morning and cross-on breeze in the arvo will chop it up. It'll be a bit of a messy, bumpy ride. The real treat comes on Monday the 14th. The morning is gold: clean, offshore wind from the ENE, a solid 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period. The sets will be well-spaced and have some punch.

We hit another quiet period mid-week, but keep an eye on Thursday the 17th. This is shaping up to be the absolute pick of the bunch. The morning session sees a clean, cross-off breeze linking up with a 5ft WNW swell at 11 seconds. The energy is strong and the conditions will be pristine. For the advanced surfer, this is the one to circle. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th also offer clean, offshore conditions in the mornings with some fun 4ft to 4ft NW swell, perfect for keeping the stoke alive.

The second week gets a bit messy. You can basically write off the 21st and 22nd of September. On the 22nd, we see a big jump in swell, hitting 6ft with a long 14-second period and very strong energy, but it's accompanied by howling, lumpy cross-onshore winds. That's more of a kite-surfing zoo than a clean paddle session.

But hang in there. The very last day of the forecast, Wednesday the 23rd of September, delivers a surprise. It's glassy in the morning with a clean 4ft NW groundswell. That will be the cleanest, most inviting surf of the entire run, even if the wind fills in later. A real gem to end the outlook.

Rusty.
