Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got the lowdown for Anglet-Corsaires for the next couple of weeks. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about when to get wet.

It’s a slow start, but don’t get disheartened. We’ve got a few windows of clean, proper surf, and one absolute beauty of a morning that’s going to be hard to beat.

The first real chance to get a wave comes on the morning of Thursday the 4th. It’s tiny, with a weak 2ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is glassy. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s clean enough to get a few fun ones if you’re desperate. The water is a very unusual 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.

Things pick up properly on Saturday the 5th. The morning looks magic. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 206, and it’s going to be clean. This is a solid morning for a beginner-friendly wave.

Saturday afternoon is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 5ft, but it’s messy.

Now, for the standout. Sunday, the 6th of September, is your session. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a solid 12-second period, pushed by a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. The combined energy is a strong 661. This is a proper groundswell that will have some shape and power, and with the clean conditions, Anglet-Corsaires is going to be at its best. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

The following week is a mixed bag of onshore winds and marginal conditions. The morning of Wednesday the 9th has a brief window with a clean 4ft swell and a light offshore from the E, but it’s short-lived.

Looking further out, the next real highlight is on Sunday the 13th of September. Another morning session looks promising. The swell is 6ft from the NW with a very long 13-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is a massive 984. This is a potent, powerful swell. The long period will make it clean and lined up, but at 6ft, it’s starting to push into the intermediate and above territory. It’s a fantastic prospect, but remember it’s a week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

The last notable window is the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. It’s a small 3ft glassy morning with good energy (203) and clean conditions. A nice little reset after the bigger stuff.

Overall, Sunday morning the 6th is the standout. It has the best combination of size, power, and perfect wind. Look after yourself, and I’ll see you in the water.

Rusty.
