The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Seignosse - Le Penon.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days are pretty much a write-off for any real fun. You’ll see some small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind, making for choppy, poor surf. Not worth paddling out for.
Then we hit a bit of a dry spell. From around Wednesday the 19th through to the 21st, the energy is really low – combined swell energy down in the teens and low hundreds (13 to 294). There are some glassy moments on the morning of the 19th, but with swell just 1 ft, it’s flat. Thursday the 20th morning is glassy too with a 1 ft swell, but it’s barely a ripple. Friday the 21st sees a bit more push with a 4 ft NW swell and a period of 11 seconds, offering some moderate energy (294), but the wind is cross-on, so it’s hard to get excited about it.
The standout window – and I mean the only one that has a pulse – is Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of August. After a long stretch of mediocrity, the wind finally gets its act together. Saturday morning we’ve got an offshore breeze from the East at 10 km/h, which will clean things right up. The swell is 3 ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 153. That’s modest, but the clean conditions will make it feel way better than it sounds. Sunday 23rd is similar; offshore wind again, 3 ft swell in the morning, and 4 ft in the afternoon. Not huge, but the cleanest waves of the whole run. This is the time to be there.
After that, the window slams shut again. Monday 24th brings onshore wind and rain, and the rest of the fortnight is a mix of tiny swell and cross-shore breezes. The water is unusually warm right now – 77°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real treat if you do get in the water, but it doesn’t fix the lack of swell.
Bottom line: don’t get wet until Saturday 22nd. Then Sunday 23rd is your best bet. After that, it’s a long, slow fade to nothing.
Rusty.
