The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for our little corner of the coast.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. We've got a few days of very small, weak swell with a combined energy barely getting past 66 (that's weak, mate). The water is sitting at 75°F which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit.
The first real glimmer of hope is on Saturday, 15 August morning. Seignosse - Le Penon is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the northwest with a 10-second period, giving it moderate energy (355). The real kicker is the glassy conditions – dead calm, no wind. That's going to be smooth as glass. It's a bit of a standout, but keep in mind this break is inconsistent, so you'll need to be patient between sets. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with that 4ft, it's still a fun size for everyone.
The next real moment to circle on the calendar is Tuesday, 18 August morning. We've got a solid 5ft swell from the northwest, but the period is a shorter 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 253 (moderate). The big news here is the offshore wind from the east, keeping it clean. It's a bit of a bigger day, so it might be a touch much for absolute beginners, but for the rest of us, that's a great session.
If you can hold out, Friday, 21 August morning has a similar story. Another 4ft northwest swell, with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 242. The wind is offshore again, this time light from the east, so it'll be clean. The morning looks like the window, as the afternoon gets a bit choppy with a cross-shore wind picking up to 12 mph.
There's a long gap of pretty ordinary conditions between the 15th and the 18th, and then again between the 18th and the 21st, so don't expect to be surfing every day.
So, the verdict: Saturday morning, 15 August is the standout for the glassy, clean conditions on a fun-sized swell. Tuesday morning, 18 August and Friday morning, 21 August are the other solid bets for clean, offshore conditions, but with a slightly more powerful, shorter-period swell.
Rusty.
