The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the scoop on our local stretch.
First up, the water's sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing too wild temperature-wise. Now, looking at the forecast, we've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The real standout is shaping up for Thursday, September 3rd. That morning is looking absolutely prime at Seignosse - Le Penon (Le-Penon). We're talking glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze, and a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a nice 10-second period. The combined wave energy is a solid 970, so there's plenty of power behind it. It's a bit on the bigger side, so more suited to the experienced crew, but the quality is going to be incredible before the wind shifts.
Before that, we have a few decent windows. Thursday morning the 20th of August is a good one to start with – clean 4ft surf from the NW with glassy conditions and light winds. The energy is moderate at 414, making for a fun session. Then, Saturday morning the 22nd is another pick with clean 4ft waves and a gentle offshore breeze from the East. The swell's a bit weaker at 266, but the conditions will be tidy.
We'll see a bit of a lull through the middle of the week with some choppy conditions, but things clean up again on Sunday the 30th of August. That morning has a clean 6ft WNW swell and a gentle offshore breeze, giving you a solid 402 in energy. Then Monday the 31st of August morning is another cracker with 5ft waves from the NW, clean conditions, and light offshore winds.
The 3rd of September morning is the big one, though. That glassy 7ft WNW swell with 970 energy is the best of the whole run. Get it while it's good.
Rusty.
