The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the waves for Seignosse - Le Penon for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, so listen up.
The start is pretty flat out. The 26th has tiny waves, about 1ft from the WNW, and the energy is weak (44). The wind is light and offshore from the ESE, so the surface is clean, but there’s hardly any push. Thursday the 27th gets a little more size by the afternoon, maybe 3ft, but the period drops and the energy only gets to 96. It’s still nothing special. Friday the 28th is a total washout with strong onshore wind and messy 7ft waves by the afternoon. Forget it.
Saturday the 29th morning kicks off a better phase. We get a clean 6ft WNW swell, period of 9 seconds, and moderate energy of 486, with a light cross-off breeze. That’s legit. The standout though is Sunday the 30th morning. Glassy, dead calm, with a clean 5ft WNW swell and 331 energy. That’s the morning to be in the water.
Moving into the next week, Monday the 31st is messy again, but Tuesday the 1st of September morning is another glassy beauty: 5ft WNW swell, 10-second period, 370 energy. Clean and lined up. Thursday the 3rd morning sees the wind go offshore from the E with a 4ft NW swell (10 seconds, 208 energy) – tidy but not huge.
The second week has some longer-range promise. Sunday morning the 6th of September is glassy with a 4ft NW groundswell, 11-second period, and 413 energy. That’s clean, fun-sized power. Then Tuesday morning the 8th shows another glassy window with a 5ft NW swell (10 seconds, 471 energy). The real king of the forecast is Thursday morning the 10th of September. Dead calm wind, glassy, with a solid 7ft WNW swell rolling in with a 10-second period and energy of 778. That’s strong energy and zero wind – it’s going to be epic if it holds.
Crowds can show up at Le Penon, especially on those clean glassy mornings, so get there early. The surf is inconsistent here, and you’ll have gaps of a couple of days between good sessions, but when it’s on, it’s on.
Keep your eyes peeled for those morning windows, especially if the wind drops to glass.
Rusty.
