The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for our local stretch.
First up, the water’s sitting at 75°F, which is a solid 5°F above the norm for this time of year. That’s much warmer than usual, so you can leave the thick winter rubber at home.
The start of the period is a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got nothing worthwhile on the cards until late Friday, 28th August, but even then it’s looking pretty meagre. The real action doesn’t kick off until the weekend.
The standout session is looking like Saturday morning, 29th August. Head to Seignosse - Le Penon, a beach and jetty set-up that’s exposed to the west. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy out of the SSE, which is all you can ask for. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (424). This is your best bet for a fun, clean session with some push to it. It’s a beginner-friendly spot if you’re just getting into it, though at that size it’s still manageable.
Another good window is early Sunday morning, 30th August. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the WNW, period 8 seconds, but the wind is offshore from the ESE, leaving it clean. The combined energy is moderate (357). It’s a solid option, but Saturday morning has the edge for size and quality.
Looking further ahead, there’s a promising pulse around Saturday, 5th September. The morning looks clean with offshore wind from the ESE, and a 5ft swell from the NW with a longer period of 12 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and the combined energy is strong (590). This one has potential for some lined-up waves, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.
The following morning, Sunday, 6th September, is also worth a mention. Glassy conditions with a 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, and combined energy of 505 (strong). Again, a good prospect but still a long way off.
Then Tuesday morning, 8th September, brings another clean, offshore morning with a 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, and strong energy of 629. That’s another one to circle on the calendar.
Beyond that, there’s a bit of a bump mid-week, but the winds get messy with cross-shore and cross-onshore conditions, so it’s hard to get excited about it. The period ends with a couple of clean mornings on Friday, 11th September, but the swell is dropping back down to around 4ft.
So, wrap your head around it: the best surf on offer is Saturday morning, 29th August, at Seignosse - Le Penon. Clean, glassy, and some fun little waves. The week after has a few promising pulses, but they’re a long way out.
Rusty, signing off.
