The Lowdown
Right, gather round. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Anglet - Corsaires.
Straight up, it's a lean couple of weeks. For the first week and a half, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are just plain poor. There's a real gap in quality surf from the start of the forecast right through to August 20th. You'll be better off doing something else with your time.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday morning, August 20th. The sea goes glassy, with a calm wind, and a little 2ft swell from the NW at 9 seconds rolls in. The combined energy is weak (91), but it’s surfable. It’s not a classic, but after a week of flat junk, it's something to paddle out for.
From there, it's back to the doldrums with poor conditions until we get a real standout on August 27th. Thursday the 27th is the day to circle. The morning brings a clean 5ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, keeping the faces clean. The energy jumps to a solid moderate (379). The afternoon cleans up even more with offshore winds, the swell easing to a still-juicy 5ft, and the energy still strong (286). This is the best on offer, by a long shot.
Then the window slams shut. On the 28th and 29th, a big, powerful swell arrives, but it's hammered by brutal onshore winds. We're talking 10ft of NW groundswell with a 13-second period and massive energy (3527), but it's a total mess. That's not for paddle surfing; that's a kite day, if you're into that kind of thing.
So, to sum it up: August 27th is your only real shot at some proper, clean waves. The rest of the window is a write-off until maybe that day, but the long-range call looks promising. Keep your fingers crossed the wind plays ball.
Rusty.
