The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what the next couple of weeks are looking like for your local stretch of coast.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t let that fool you. The pattern is building toward a proper pulse of swell, and if you play your cards right, there’s a couple of mornings that’ll have you grinning. The first real standout doesn’t come until early next week, so we’ve got some waiting to do.
The weekend is pretty average. Sunday the 30th starts off promising with Seignosse - Le Penon seeing a clean, glassy 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (389), and the water is sitting at 74°, which is over four degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a lovely treat. By Sunday afternoon the wind switches, messing things up. Monday the 31st stays messy with onshore winds and lumpy conditions, though the swell pushes up a bit.
Tuesday morning, September 1st is where we get our first real clean look. At Le Penon, the swell is 5ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, and that glassy offshore easterly wind is going to line things up beautifully. Combined energy is a solid 419 (moderate). It’s not a massive day, but the quality will be there for a fun paddle. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
Now, Saturday morning, September 5th – that’s your big date. The NW swell is 6ft, period 11 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 851 (strong). The wind is a clean offshore easterly at 6 mph, which is just about perfect. This is the best session of the entire forecast. It’s not huge enough to be for experts only, so advanced intermediates will have a ball. Just keep an eye on the afternoon as the wind onshores and the energy gets bumpy.
After that, we get a few cleaner but smaller mornings around the 6th and 8th, with the 8th offering a long-period 4ft WNW groundswell (12 seconds) under glassy conditions – a nice little combo if you’ve got a longboard or a groveler.
From the 9th onward, things drop right off. Wind stays onshore, wave heights shrink to under 3ft, and the energy levels get weak (mostly under 100). The period goes short and messy. If you’re checking the 13th and 14th, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for.
For the kitesurfers out there – given the onshore winds and choppy conditions in the middle of the second week, especially around the 9th and 10th, this setup might look more interesting for you than for a surfer. But for a paddle, you really want to be on Saturday the 5th or Tuesday the 1st.
Stay patient, friends. The glassy windows are worth it.
