The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Seignosse - Le Penon. It’s a bit of a rough start, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
The first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are flat and messy with tiny, weak swell. Saturday the 25th actually sees a jump in size, with waves pushing 6ft to 7ft from the west, but the wind is howling onshore and the quality is poor. Sunday the 26th is still choppy and cross-onshore, so not worth paddling out.
We finally get a window on Monday the 27th. The morning is glassy, with a clean 4ft NW groundswell (period of 10 seconds) and moderate energy (299). That’s your best window. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly spot. The wind turns onshore by the afternoon, so get on it early.
Tuesday the 28th morning is also looking tidy with light offshore winds, 4ft NW swell, and clean conditions. The swell energy is moderate (262), and it’ll be a good session for getting a few rides.
After that, it drops off again. From Wednesday the 29th right through the end of the first week of August, we’re looking at small, weak swell (under 3ft) and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a brief moment on the morning of August 5th with glassy conditions and a tiny 2ft swell, but it’s barely surfable. The long period swell showing up on August 6th and 7th (11-12 seconds) is still too weak and mostly coming from the wrong direction to make this beach break work well.
So, the standout is simple: Monday 27th morning. That’s your call. Glassy, clean, and a solid 4ft from the NW. Tuesday 28th morning is a close second if you miss it.
Rusty.
