The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk it through in feet and knots. Rusty here.
We’ve got a mixed bag of a forecast for the next couple of weeks. Some clean windows, but a lot of wind to work around. The real highlights are the glassy mornings with that longer-period groundswell.
First up is Seignosse - Le Penon. Water’s running at 73°, which is about 4° warmer than the usual for this time of year. Feels good.
Saturday, September 5th afternoon is a go. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell at 13 seconds, with a cross-offshore N breeze blowing 12 knots. The combined energy is moderate (681). Not perfect, but rideable.
The red-letter day is Sunday the 6th. The morning is glassy – a light SE breeze at 3 knots. The swell is 5ft from the NW with a 12-second period, pumping out moderate energy (666). That’s clean, fun, and a little punchy. It’s a bit much for a total beginner, but anyone with a bit of time in the water will love it.
From Monday the 7th through the 10th, the wind is a problem. It’s mostly cross-on or onshore. There are a couple of tiny glassy windows—Tuesday 8th morning with 4ft WNW swell, and Thursday 11th morning with 3ft NW swell—but they’re small and slow.
The other big standout is Wednesday the 16th morning. Glassy, with a light ESE breeze. Swell is 4ft from the WNW, running at a very long 12 seconds. That’s strong wave energy (523). This is a proper groundswell, and it’s going to be clean. The sets will be a bit more drawn out, which is great for the jetty. This one’s for the experienced crew.
The rest of the second week is mostly a struggle with cross-on winds and fading swell. Sunday the 20th morning is flat calm with a tiny 1ft WNW swell – just a recovery paddle.
Best bets: Sunday the 6th for clean, fun waves, and Wednesday the 16th for a more powerful, glassy session.
Rusty.
