The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for the Anglet-Corsaires area over the next couple of weeks. I'm gonna be straight with you – it's a tough start.
The first week or so is pretty grim. From now, Friday the 17th of July, all the way through to the early hours of Monday the 27th of July, we're looking at a real slump. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is a problem. We've got a lot of cross-onshore and onshore action, making for choppy, poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting in the double digits most of the time, only creeping into the low 70s on a couple of occasions. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
Then things start to get interesting. The standout window is the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. This is where the forecast has a glimmer of hope. We’re looking at a clean 3 ft groundswell from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds and a solid combined energy of 234 – that's a moderate, proper push of energy. The wind is set to be glassy, with a light SSW breeze. That's the magic word – glassy. For a break like Anglet-Corsaires, which is an exposed beach, this is a rare treat. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The following morning, Wednesday the 29th, the swell builds to 4 ft from the NW with a longer period of 12 seconds and energy hitting 435, but it's marred by a 12 mph onshore wind. That's a no-go for the paddle board, but it might have some appeal for the kite crowd.
However, the real diamond in the rough pops up a week later, on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. Again, glassy conditions with a NNE breeze and a 4 ft NW swell. The period is 10 seconds and the energy is 341 – strong, clean, and lined up. This is a proper morning session waiting to happen. The swell is a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but the glassy conditions will make it a dream for anyone with a bit of experience.
The start of August sees a drop-off again, with a 4 ft NW swell on the 1st but killed by a cross-onshore breeze. So, to sum it up: the first ten days are a write-off, but circle the mornings of Tuesday the 28th and especially Thursday the 30th of July. Those are your best bets for a real surf.
Rusty.
