Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Anglet-Corsaires. To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions from today, Sunday the 19th of July, all the way through to the end of July. The swell is tiny, often under 3 feet, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The combined wave energy is weak, struggling to even hit 100 in many spots, so there’s no real power to work with. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for.

But hang tight, because the end of the month is where it gets interesting. The standout window opens up on Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning is looking magic – glassy conditions with a light NE breeze, and a clean 4ft swell from the NW. The period is a nice 10 seconds, giving it some shape, and the combined energy is a solid 384 – that’s moderate wave energy with some grunt. This is the best on offer, no question. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Thursday the 30th of July morning is also a cracker, with glassy conditions again, the same 4ft NW swell, and energy of 348. It’s consistent, so you’ll get plenty of waves. The wind is offshore or calm, so the surf will be clean.

Then, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is another one to circle. Glassy conditions with a NE breeze, 5ft swell from the NW, and energy of 433. That’s a bit bigger, but still manageable for most. It’s a solid option for a good session.

So, the plan is simple: suffer through the flat, blown-out days, and then hit it hard on the 29th, 30th, and 2nd. The early mornings are the key – the afternoons get ruined by that cross-onshore wind. Keep an eye on the forecast, but this one has promise.

Rusty.
