The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Seignosse - Le Penon.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start to the outlook. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy is just too weak, and the winds are messy. We’ve got a gap of about a week before things start to look genuinely interesting.
Sunday 23rd August is probably the best of a poor bunch. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW, and while the wind is light offshore from the east, the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (72), so it’ll be fun for a beginner on a longboard, but that’s about it. The water is about average for this time of year.
Monday 24th through Saturday 29th is a pretty grim stretch. The swell stays small and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of it. Even when the swell bumps up to 5ft on the Thursday and 6ft on the Friday, the onshore wind from the west and northwest just destroys any chance of a clean wave. The energy picks up considerably (329 on Thursday, 702 on Friday), but it’s all wind-chop. On Saturday 29th, the swell hits 8ft from the WNW, but with a strong onshore wind, that’s just a washing machine. It’s a big, powerful, messy close-out, only for the experts and even then, it’s not going to be pretty.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday 30th August is a standout. The swell has dropped to a manageable 5ft from the NW, but the wind is offshore from the east and glassy. The period is a short 8 seconds, but with clean conditions, those waves will be peeling nicely. The combined energy is moderate (250), so there’s some push. This is the best session on offer for the first week.
Monday 31st and Tuesday 1st September fade back into small, onshore slop. Wednesday 2nd September morning has a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is completely glassy. It’s small, but it would be a fun little session on a foamy or a log. The energy is weak (60).
The real standout is Monday 7th September. The swell is a solid 3ft from the NW, but the period is a long 12 seconds, meaning it’s a proper groundswell. The wind is light offshore from the ESE, and the combined energy is moderate (434). This is the pick of the entire outlook. It’s clean, it’s got a bit of power, and the long period will give you some nice, lined-up waves. This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
Overall, the best bet is definitely Monday 7th September for the cleanest, most powerful waves, with Sunday 30th August as a very solid back-up option.
