Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line for Anglet - Corsaires.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are pretty flat and not worth paddling out for. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday morning on the 27th are tiny, with weak energy and onshore or cross-off winds – definitely not the time to get excited.

The first real window of opportunity shows up on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW, glassy conditions with no wind, and the water is sitting at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a pleasant surprise. The energy is moderate (354), so there’s enough push for a fun session. It’s a fairly consistent break, and while it’s exposed to the swell, this direction is a solid match for the break. Crowds can show up sometimes, but that’s the price for a clean morning.

Now, the standout for this whole outlook is Sunday morning, the 30th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell with some proper shape. The wind is glassy, the energy is strong (551), and conditions are set to be very good. This is the best window we’ll see, no question.

Monday morning the 31st and Tuesday morning the 1st of September both offer clean offshore winds with 5 ft and 5 ft swell from the NW, and energy is still solid (365 and 400 respectively). These are good, clean options, but not quite the peak of Sunday.

After that, things drop off into cleaner but smaller surf through the first week of September. The 2nd through the 5th are mostly ordinary, with waves under 3 ft and weak energy. By Saturday the 5th, the afternoon sees a jump in size – 5 ft from the NW with a long 12-second period and strong energy (611), but the wind is cross-on and choppy, so it’s more of a looker than a paddler.

Moving into the second week, there’s a bit more life. Sunday morning the 6th of September offers 4 ft from the WNW with clean offshore winds and moderate energy (317). Monday the 7th is your best bet later in the window – morning brings 4 ft from the NW, 12-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze, with energy at 417. That’s clean, solid, and worth a session. The afternoon stays clean too, with a cross-off breeze.

From Tuesday the 8th onward, it’s mostly small and messy again, with onshore winds and weak energy, so the window closes out pretty quietly.

Overall, if you’re only picking one session, make it Sunday the 30th of August – that’s the standout. Saturday the 29th and Monday the 7th are solid backups. The rest is mostly small or wind-affected, so pick your windows carefully.

Rusty.
