The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a slow start, but there’s a proper little window of clean waves coming our way if you’re patient. The water is running at 76°F and that’s a full 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – you won’t need a thick suit, that’s for sure. The early swell energy is moderate (625), but the conditions are messy, so don’t bother paddling out Friday afternoon.

The first real standout is Saturday morning, 22 August at Seignosse - Le Penon. The swell drops to 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the easterly wind is offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate (211), and with a gentle breeze, it’ll be tidy. Crowds are sometimes around, so it won’t be empty, but this is the best early session.

Sunday morning, 23 August, is small and clean – 2ft from the NW with a light offshore easterly, but the energy is weak (60). It’s surfable, just not exciting.

We then hit a dry spell. From Monday 24 August right through to Wednesday 26 August, the surf is tiny or blown out – nothing worth chasing. Thursday 27 August sees a big jump in energy, but it’s onshore and messy. Friday 28 August to Saturday 29 August stays poor with cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions.

The next real highlight is Sunday morning, 30 August. The swell is 5ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and a light easterly offshore breeze makes for clean surf. The combined energy is moderate (338). This is one of the best mornings on offer, with a gentle offshore and decent wave size.

Then Monday morning, 31 August – another beauty. Swell is 5ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and it’s glassy with a light southwesterly breeze. The energy is moderate (286). This is the pick of the whole period if you can get out. Glassy conditions and clean lines – doesn’t get much better.

After that, the wind turns onshore and we’re back to poor conditions from Tuesday 1 September onwards. The swell sticks around at 3ft to 4ft, but with onshore winds, it’s choppy and messy. The period from Thursday 3 September sees a bigger swell of 8ft from the WNW but with cross-onshore wind and only an 8-second period, it’s messy and only for the hardcore.

So to wrap it up: the best sessions are Saturday morning 22 August, Sunday morning 30 August, and the standout Monday morning 31 August – glassy, clean, and with decent swell. Get in the water on those days, because the rest of the window is pretty ordinary.

Rusty.
