Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's break down the next 16 days for the waves.

So, we've got a bit of a slow start, but hold tight because there's some proper groundswell heading our way. The first few days here are pretty lackluster, with small, short-period swell and onshore junk. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are write-offs. Things start to look up on Sunday morning the 13th.

Sunday the 13th is where it gets interesting. We have a jump in size to 4ft of NW groundswell, and the period is a juicy 13 seconds – that's a proper long-period groundswell bringing some real push. The water is 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a wetsuit. The kicker is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions. Anglet - Corsaires should be showing some clean, lined-up sets. The combined swell energy is moderate (545), so there's enough juice to get you moving. This is a standout morning for sure.

Monday the 14th keeps it going with clean conditions and 4ft at 11 seconds from the NW. Light offshore breeze in the morning (E at 6 mph) will keep the faces tidy. Solid, fun waves with moderate energy (413).

We get a bit of a lull Tuesday the 15th as the wind turns onshore and messy, but it rebuilds fast.

Wednesday the 16th sees the size bump up again to 5ft but it's a bit choppy with cross-shore winds. Not the pick of the week.

Now, Thursday the 17th morning is a ripper. 6ft of NW groundswell with a 11 second period and glassy conditions. That's going to produce some serious, clean walls. The energy is strong (743), so expect some grunt. This is another top session for experienced surfers.

Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th both have morning windows, but Saturday the 19th is a monster. 6ft at a very long 13 seconds from the NW, with a light offshore wind. The combined energy is massive (1037). This is excellent, powerful surf for those who know what they're doing. Because it's a long-period groundswell, it might bowl a bit too fast and straight for a beach break, but at a place like Anglet, it can still produce some gems on the right bank. Keep an eye on the banks.

The following week still has plenty of action. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st offer clean, manageable 4ft to 4ft waves with offshore breezes. Good for a fun session.

Then, we hit another patch of onshore wind and rain on Tuesday the 22nd – skip that.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th mornings are back with clean conditions and 4ft to 5ft of NW swell at 11-12 seconds. The energy is solid.

The big finish is on Friday the 25th. The morning is very good with 5ft and offshore wind, but the afternoon is the headline act: 8ft of NW swell with a very long 14 second period. The combined energy is enormous (2085). That’s a heavy, powerful, and very clean wave for experts only. This is the best day on offer, long-range but looking prime.

To sum up: the first few days are junk. The standout windows are Sunday the 13th morning, Thursday the 17th morning, Saturday the 19th morning, and that massive Friday the 25th afternoon. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so for the absolute best quality with less competition, hit those early morning glass-offs.

Stay stoked, Rusty.
