Here, we report an unexpected transition in this process. We show that the loss of spatio-temporal coherence in the reflected high-harmonics can lead to a new regime of highly-efficient coherent XUV generation, with an extraordinary property where the radiation is directionally anomalous, propagating parallel to the mirror surface. With analytical calculations and numerical particle-in-cell simulations, we discover that the radiation emission is due to laser-driven oscillations of relativistic electron nanobunches which originate from a plasma surface instability induced by collisionless absorption of the laser.
