Table - best surf conditions forecast for Seignosse - Le Penon over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a good look at the charts for Seignosse - Le Penon. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. We’ve got a long, dry spell before anything even worth paddling out for shows up on the radar.
The outlook starts on Monday, 13 July, and right away you can see it’s grim. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 74° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which feels weird when there’s no surf to enjoy. The week kicks off with small, weak, short-period swell (5 ft from the WNW at just 6 seconds) and onshore winds. The combined wave energy is weak (161), and the surf is poor. This flat, messy pattern just hangs around for days. Tuesday the 14th gives us a glassy morning but the swell is tiny at 1 ft, so it’s a lake out there. Wednesday through Saturday all show poor surf conditions, with nothing but knee-high dribble and cross-shore chop. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are still tiny and weak. There’s a gap of about two weeks here with absolutely no recommendations – it’s a proper drought.
Now, late in the run, there’s a flicker of hope. On Monday morning, 27 July, the energy starts to climb (59), but the surf is still small and messy. The real change comes Tuesday morning, 28 July. We see a 6 ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 429 – that’s moderate to strong. The morning is glassy with a slight air from the NNE, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the standout of the entire 16-day window, and it’s over a week away on 28 July. At 6 ft, it’s pushing into the size where beginners might find it a handful, but for the average surfer it offers the best chance all period. The swell direction (NW) is a touch north of the optimum (W), but the clean, glassy morning makes up for it. The afternoon holds similar size (6 ft) but gets a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppier and more marginal.
Honestly, aside from that Tuesday morning session, it’s a blank run. For an exposed beach/jetty setup like Seignosse - Le Penon, this area tends to have quiet spells, so a long gap isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on that 28 July window, but don’t hold your breath on anything else.
Rusty.
