The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this forecast for Anglet - Corsaires is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a 16-day window, and honestly, for most of it, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the scores are flat. But don’t write it off completely; there’s a glimmer of hope right at the very end.
The whole first week and a half is a write-off. From Wednesday 15th July through to Tuesday 28th July, we’ve got swell heights struggling to get above 2ft, and the wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess. The water is a wild 77°F right now – that’s a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is pretty unusual. But warm water doesn’t mean good waves. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 30 or 40 (moderate wave energy). It’s just not worth getting wet for.
Now, there’s a couple of mornings that’ll tease you. Saturday 18th July has a glassy morning with the wind swinging to N at 0 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the NNW with a short 5-second period. It’s clean, but it’s flat. Tuesday 21st July morning has a nice cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, cleaning up the 2ft swell from the NNW, but it’s still tiny and weak (46 combined energy).
The real potential – and I mean *potential* – comes on the morning of Wednesday 29th July. We’ve got a glassy morning with the wind from ENE at 3 mph, and the swell bumps up to 2ft from the NW with a 6-second period. The combined energy is a bit better at 60 (moderate). It’s still not a stand-out, but it’s the first time we see a “surfable” score. Then on Thursday 30th July morning, another glassy start with the wind from the E at 3 mph, a 1ft swell from the NW but with a much longer 10-second period. That longer period gives it a bit more shape, but it’s still very small.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, nothing is a standout. If you’re desperate, point your board at Anglet - Corsaires on the morning of Wednesday 29th July. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, and the glassy conditions will make it clean. It’s an exposed W-facing beach, so that slight NW swell will wrap in a bit. But crowds are sometimes an issue here, so on a day like that, you might have a few mates out. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only window where you’ll actually get a wave that isn’t completely blown out.
Stay patient, mate. The forecast can always change.
