Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anglet - VVF over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.
The next couple of weeks at Anglet – VVF are looking pretty grim, I’ve gotta be honest. We’ve got a long stretch of weak, short-period swell and onshore winds that just won’t give us a break. The surf is going to be small and messy for most of the period, with a lot of flat spells in between.
The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
We kick off Friday morning, July 10th, with a weak 2ft WNW swell at 9 seconds, but it’s onshore wind and the conditions are poor. By the afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the ESE, and the swell edges up to 2ft. The wave energy is still low (86) and the surf is very ordinary, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see for a while.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is actually the best window in the first week. We’ve got a glassy NE breeze, 2ft of WNW swell at 9 seconds, and moderate energy (102). It’s small, but it’ll be clean. The crowd profile says “sometimes” here, so you might not have it all to yourself, but for a summer’s morning, it’s a little gem.
After that, it’s a long, painful run. From Saturday afternoon right through to Thursday, July 23rd, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell with cross-on or onshore breezes. The combined energy drops into the teens and twenties for days – it’s basically flat. The wind is mostly from the WNW to NW, just ruining what little bump there is. There’s a brief pulse on Sunday morning, July 12th, with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft and the energy is just 65 – not enough to get excited about.
The only real standout comes much later, on Thursday, July 23rd. The morning has a 3ft NW swell at 9 seconds, with a solid 171 energy reading. The wind is light onshore from the W, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the biggest push we’ve had in a fortnight. The afternoon of Thursday the 23rd sees 4ft NW swell, energy at 179, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. It’s still a bit marked up, but it’s the most power we’ve seen.
The best of the lot, though, is Friday, July 24th. Morning brings a clean ESE offshore breeze, 3ft of NW swell at 9 seconds, and energy at 145. The afternoon goes glassy with a NNE breeze, 3ft NW swell, and energy at 107. This is the pick of the entire forecast – clean, small but fun, with a bit of shape. If you’re going to paddle out, aim for this Friday.
Saturday, July 25th, we get a bigger pulse – 5ft NW swell at 9 seconds, energy jumping to 281 in the morning. But the wind is cross-shore from the north and then cross-on from the NW, making it messy. For a more experienced surfer, it might be worth a look, but the conditions won’t be kind.
Overall, it’s a tough run. Plenty of flat, windy days, but a couple of decent windows if you’re patient. The water is weirdly warm, and the best waves are small and clean, not big and powerful.
Rusty.
