Anglet - VVF Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look ahead at Anglet – VVF. We’ve got a decent run of surf coming, but you’ve gotta pick your moments.

The pattern kicks off with a bit of a nothing-burger Wednesday. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Then we get a proper window of clean conditions starting Thursday morning. The swell is a solid 6 ft out of the NW with a long period of 11 seconds, and the wind is dead glass – that’s the kind of combo that has you checking your wax before you’ve even finished your coffee. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong (725), which means there’s some proper push behind it. This is for the advanced crew, as that size and period will pack a punch.

Friday afternoon sees a jump to 6 ft from the NW, but the period drops to 12 seconds and it’s onshore, so it’ll be a bit of a mess. The real standout, and I mean the one to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 19th morning. You’ve got 7 ft of NW swell with a 13-second period, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is cranking at 1468. This is excellent surf, but it’s for experienced surfers only – that size is no joke and the power is serious. Expect crowds here, because everyone will want a piece of that.

Sunday morning is another beauty with 5 ft, glassy, and a solid 11-second NW swell. The energy is still moderate (617), and it will be a fun, clean session. Monday and Tuesday mornings keep the glassy theme going, but the swell eases off a touch.

After a few dodgy afternoons and some onshore days, we get a nice little window on Wednesday the 23rd morning. The swell is small at 2 ft, but it’s a clean, offshore breeze from the E and a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s a groundswell for the points and reefs, so at Anglet’s beach setup, it might break a little straight, but it’ll be clean and rideable. Thursday the 24th morning also looks very good with 4 ft WNW swell, glassy, and a combined energy of 504.

After that, the surf drops off significantly. We’ve got a long stretch from Saturday the 26th right through to the end of the period where conditions are poor. There’s a small, clean 2 ft glassy morning on the 27th, but it’s pretty ordinary. Nothing worth getting excited about. The wind cranks up onshore from the 28th onwards, so that’s a solid week of write-off conditions.

So, the two standouts are clear: Saturday morning the 19th for the big, powerful, glassy NW groundswell (experts only), and Thursday morning the 17th for that first proper glassy session with solid 6 ft waves. Everything else is either chasing the smaller windows or waiting for the next pulse.
