The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on offer for Seignosse - Le Penon.
Right now, this is a forecast that takes its time to really get going. There’s a bit of a slow start, but once the first weekend of September rolls around, things start to look a whole lot better. For the first few days, we’re dealing with small, short-period leftovers and choppy afternoon winds, so save your energy.
The first real chance to get a wetsuit on comes up on Sunday morning, the 30th of August. The ocean’s showing a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period—moderate energy (389). It’s dead calm, glassy as a mirror, with the water temperature sitting at a very noticeable 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. This is a solid window for a beginner-friendly session, but just keep in mind this wave breaks rare and inconsistent, so you might have to wait for your share.
The true standout of this whole outlook is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell from the NW, a long 13-second period, and the energy is pumping at 1242—that’s strong. Offshore light breeze from the NE will keep it clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction matches the optimum perfectly from the west. The only thing to watch is that when the period is this long, the waves can break a bit straight at a beach/jetty setup, but the quality is undeniable. Expect company—crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is a nice smaller option. Clean 5ft from the WNW at 10 seconds with an offshore E breeze. Good, clean, approachable surf for the early risers.
Jumping ahead to the second week, Sunday the 13th of September morning is another promising call. 5ft from the NW, 10-second period, cross-off breeze from the ESE keeping things clean. Good vibes. Then, Monday the 14th of September morning is a big one for experienced surfers only. 7ft from the NW, long-period groundswell at 11 seconds, strong energy at 1069, and offshore E winds. Clean, powerful, and big—this is not for the faint-hearted.
There’s also a glassy session on the 12th of September Saturday morning with 5ft from the NW and calm winds—very good conditions, but the afternoon goes a bit messy so make it a dawn patrol.
Overall, the window of opportunity here is a bit staggered. There are gaps of a few days between the best windows—especially toward mid-September, where you’ll see a few smaller, choppier days. Keep an eye on that 5th and 14th of September for the real juice.
Stay stoked, keep your eyes on the horizon, and I’ll catch you in the lineup.
