Anglet - Corsaires Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up for Anglet - Corsaires.

First up, the start of the period is a bit of a slow burn. The swell energy is moderate at 400 and the waves are pushing 5ft, with a clean 10-second period from the NW, and a light offshore breeze from the east. That’s Tuesday morning, 1st September, and it’s the standout of the whole forecast. The conditions are clean, the water temp is about average for the time of year, so it’s a solid session for beginners and intermediates alike. But after that morning, the wind swings around and the quality drops, so make the most of the early window.

We then hit a quiet spell. From the afternoon of the 1st right through to the end of the first week, the swell drops off hard. The morning of the 5th sees a small bump with 4ft waves from the NW and a 11-second period, pushing moderate energy of 258, and with glassy conditions it’s surfable but nothing to get too excited about. The 6th is similar, with 4ft NW swell at 11 seconds, moderate energy of 391, and a glassy start – clean enough for a paddle.

The following week is patchy. The 12th and 13th have small, clean windows with light offshore winds, but the swell is weak – under 3ft with energy around 108 to 72. The water temp stays about average. The 15th sees a pulse of 4ft from the WNW, but the period is short at 8 seconds, the wind is messy onshore, and the energy is moderate but weak at 191. That’s not going to be a day for the logs.

The 16th pretty much dries up – tiny 1ft swell with a 6-second period, hardly any energy (22), and poor conditions. The quiet period after the first Tuesday morning lasts for several days, so don’t hold your breath for a long run of good waves.

The best bet? That Tuesday morning, 1st September. Get in the water early, it’s the only real standout in the whole 16 days.

Stay wet,
Rusty
