The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the outlook for our stretch at Anglet-Corsaires. Gotta be honest, it's a slow couple of weeks comin' up. Lots of days with tiny waves and the wind blowing all wrong, so don’t get your hopes up. The first real chance to paddle out isn’t until Thursday morning, the 6th of August.
Thursday morning, the 6th, is your best bet early on. A few clouds, a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, keeps it clean. Swell is small, just 3 ft out of the NW with a short 8-second period, and combined energy at 126. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon goes south quick as the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NNW, goin' cross-onshore and choppin' it all up. Not worth it.
Friday the 7th has a tiny glimmer. A morning glass-off with clear skies and zero wind. Swell is even smaller, 2 ft from the NW at 7 seconds, weak energy at 56. Glassy, but tiny. The sea breeze ruins it by the afternoon.
The weekend is a washout. Saturday the 8th is a total dud with tiny 2 ft waves and junk wind. Sunday the 9th starts glassy again with a little more period—10 seconds from the NW at 2 ft—but the energy is still weak at 64. Afternoon gets messy. The start of next week is more of the same: small, inconsistent, and mostly cross-onshore winds.
We get a little bump on Saturday the 15th of August, with a pulse of 4 ft from the WNW, but it’s a short 6-second period, onshore wind from the West at 12 mph, and energy of 157. Poor quality, more of a kite day than a paddle day.
The standout comes on Monday the 17th of August. Morning glass-off, calm winds, with a solid 5 ft WNW swell at 7 seconds, energy at 178. Still short period, so a bit jumbled, but those glassy conditions will make it the cleanest wave of the whole stretch. That’s the one to mark down. Afternoon jumps to 6 ft but the cross-shore wind chops it up.
The biggest pulse hits Tuesday the 18th of August, with a 8 ft WNW groundswell (9 seconds) in the morning, and a huge 893 combined energy. That’s expert-only, and the light cross-onshore wind spoils it. Thursday the 20th offers a final glassy morning with 3 ft NW swell for a clean, small session to end it.
Overall, a lean fortnight. Water temp is about average for this time of year. The story is small waves and wind that won’t cooperate. But a clean 5 ft wave on a glassy day is still a good day.
Rusty.
