The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Anglet - Corsaires.
Right off the bat, the water is a balmy 76°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 4/3 at home. The vibe is good, but the surf is taking its sweet time to get its act together. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak surf to start with—barely a ripple. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off with a tiny 1ft cross-on breeze and hardly any energy (37). Wednesday the 26th sees a glassy morning but still only 1ft, so it’s a flat day for the paddle board.
The first real window of opportunity looks like Saturday the 29th morning. The swell picks up to 5ft from the NW, period is a short 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy from the ENE. That’s clean, and the energy is moderate (287). It’s a beginner-friendly size, but it’s not a world-beater. Sunday the 30th morning is a carbon copy—clean, glassy, 5ft—and that’s your best bet early on. The afternoons get chopped up by the sea breeze, so get out early.
There’s a bit of a lull Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st, with onshore winds messing things up. But hold on, because the real standout is shaping up for Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning session looks absolutely mint. We’re looking at a clean 5ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper energy (797) and with glassy offshore winds from the ENE, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is the one to circle on the calendar—a point break or reef would be ideal, but for a beach break, that long period will give you some real power and shape. The afternoons get a bit bumpy, but the morning will be gold.
Don’t get too excited about the run-up to it. There’s a brief spike on Monday the 7th with a 7ft NW swell and a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the SW, making it a messy, lumpy affair. That’s too big for beginners and onshore for the rest of us. The 9th is the clear winner. After that, the energy drops off again.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a slow burn with glassy mornings on the 29th and 30th as the only decent windows. The real prize is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. That’s the one to plan for. Crowds are “sometimes” a thing here, so expect company on the peak.
