The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Anglet’s VVF is in for a quiet stretch. To be straight with you, the first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 16th through to Wednesday the 19th? Tiny, weak, and messy. The water’s much warmer than normal for this time of year though, sitting at a balmy 77°, which is over three degrees above average. That’s very unusual for August.

Thursday the 20th morning, things finally start to flicker. Glassy conditions with a light breath from the NE, and a weak 3ft NW swell. The energy is weak – only a combined 147 – but it’s surfable. The afternoon turns choppy again though.

Now, Friday the 21st is the first real standout. That morning is your window. You’ve got 5ft of NW swell, a period of 11 seconds giving it some grunt, and a light NNE breeze keeping it clean. The combined energy hits 496, which is strong. This is groundswell territory, so it'll be punchy. For advanced surfers, this is the pick of the first week. Expect crowds possible as word gets out.

Saturday the 22nd morning is glassy again, but the swell drops back to 4ft. Still rideable, but nothing like Friday’s punch.

There’s a long, flat-ish gap from Saturday afternoon through to Tuesday the 26th. Small, onshore, and choppy. Not worth the paddle.

Wednesday the 26th morning sees a tiny 2ft NW swell with a gentle offshore from the E, so it’s clean, but way too small to get excited about – only 15 combined energy.

The next real hope is Sunday the 30th. Morning glass with an ESE offshore, and a 4ft NW swell (period 9 seconds, combined energy 294). That’s moderate energy and it’s clean. Good for a Sunday session.

Then Monday the 31st morning could be the best of the whole run. 6ft from the WNW, glassy with a light E breeze, and combined energy of 289. That’s solid. But the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell – more crumbly than perfect. Still, worth getting wet.

So, looking at the whole 16 days, the standout is Friday the 21st morning at VVF. Strong swell, clean, good period. Second best is Sunday the 30th morning for a cleaner, smaller option.

Rusty.
