Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Anglet - Corsaires.

Right off the bat, things are looking pretty grim. The next several days are a write-off. We’ve got poor surf conditions straight through until Wednesday the 16th. The swell is weak, the wind is all wrong – onshore or cross-onshore – and it’s just messy out there. You can leave the board in the car. This is a long, dry spell to start the forecast period.

Then, things start to turn. Thursday the 17th morning is where it finally gets interesting. We’re looking at a 6ft NW groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds. The real magic is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm. The water is sitting at a very unusual 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a late-summer treat. The combined wave energy is moderate at 663. This is going to be clean, lined-up surf for the more experienced crew, as 6ft is getting a bit much for beginners.

The real standout, though, is Saturday the 19th morning. This is the one. We’ve got a solid 7ft NW groundswell with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s a lot of energy – combined energy is a strong 1514 – and with a light 3 mph offshore easterly wind, it’s going to be absolutely clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only, as anything over 8ft gets into expert territory, and 7ft is pushing it for most. The direction is perfect from the NW, matching what this break wants. This is the session to circle on the calendar.

Sunday the 20th morning is another good shout. A cleaner, smaller 5ft NW swell at 12 seconds, glassy conditions. It’s a much more manageable size, and the energy is still moderate at 528. A great option for a wider range of surfers.

Into the following week, Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd mornings both offer glassy conditions and 5ft and 4ft NW groundswells respectively. Good, clean waves, but nothing that will blow your mind like Saturday. The energy drops a bit.

After that, the swell fades out quickly. Wednesday the 23rd through the end of the month looks small and weak again, with mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Friday the 25th morning has a little spike of 4ft NW swell with 12 seconds and glassy conditions, but the energy is low. It’s a tease before it all goes flat again.

So, to sum it up: it’s a slow start, but the Thursday 17th morning and especially the Saturday 19th morning are the real gems in this outlook. Get on it if you can.
