The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Seignosse - Le Penon over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, if I’m being honest. The first few days of this window are pretty flat and messy. You’ll see a bit of lumpy, wind-blown stuff on the Saturday and Sunday (25th and 26th July), but it’s all onshore and choppy, just not worth the paddle out. The combined wave energy on Saturday morning is a poor 420 (moderate), but with a 19 mph onshore wind, it’s not going to be pretty. We’ve got a real gap here until things start to look up. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at a light 3 mph, and that’s the key. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a nice, clean groundswell. The energy is moderate (236). It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be clean and fun. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so this long-period swell (10 seconds) might make it a bit straight, but with the glassy conditions, it’s a solid window for a morning session.
After that, we get a few more days of small, clean, glassy mornings with the swell dropping into the 2 ft to 3 ft range. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’ll be chasing little peaks.
Now, the real standout, the one that’s got my attention, is the Monday morning of the 3rd of August. The forecast shows a nice 5 ft NW swell at 11 seconds – that’s quality groundswell, packing a combined energy of 584 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the N at just 3 mph. This is the kind of setup that will have Le Penon peeling off nicely. It’s a bit of a long-range call, so it’s not a guarantee, but it looks promising. The morning of the 3rd is the best bet in the whole run. The rest of that week tails off into small, weak surf again.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The run from the 28th July to the 1st August offers some small, clean windows for the longboard or a fun log. But the absolute standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Monday, the 3rd of August. That’s your best chance for a proper session.
Rusty.
