The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Seignosse - Le Penon stretch.
Right off the bat, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a serious run of flat days and poor conditions to get through. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news for a while.
From Monday the 10th all the way through the weekend, we’re looking at tiny, weak, onshore-chopped slop. The swell is barely 2ft, coming from the NW, and the period is short. The wind is mostly on it or cross-on, just making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak, barely pushing into triple digits (84-143). There’s a moment on Wednesday the 12th morning where it goes glassy, but the swell is still only 2ft and weak, so it’s just a flat, clean lake.
There’s a gap of about 9 days here with no real surf to recommend. You’ll be waiting until later in the second week.
Now, the best bet and the only real standout in this whole 16-day window is Thursday morning, the 21st of August. The swell picks up a bit to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a solid 196 (moderate). The real kicker? We’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, keeping things clean. It’s still not pumping, but it’s the only time the conditions line up for a half-decent session. Later that afternoon the wind swings onshore, so get it early.
Looking further to the following week, there’s a bit of a pulse on Monday the 24th, but the swell jumps to 5ft – that’s a bit much for the beginners – and the wind is cross-on, so it’s choppy and messy. The real hope is Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. The swell drops to a clean 4ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is still moderate (252). It’s the only morning in the whole outlook that promises "expect good surf conditions". Paddling out for a dawn session that day is your best shout if you’re holding out for a proper wave.
Overall, it’s a lean couple of weeks. Don’t get your hopes up until that last week of August.
Rusty.
