The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour.
It’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch, to be honest. There’s a big gap of nothing but tiny, messy waves until Monday, August 4th. That’s the first time you might even think about getting wet, and it’s a real long shot.
The Overall Picture
The whole 16-day window is weak. The swell energy is barely there, with most readings under 100 (weak energy), and only a couple of days hitting the moderate range. The water is warm at 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The First Real Chance
Monday afternoon, August 4th, at Seignosse - Le Penon. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is glassy, which is a big plus. It’ll be clean, but the waves are just ‘surfable but very ordinary’. It’s a beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around. The best part of that day might be the glassy morning on Tuesday, August 5th, with a clean 2ft wave from the W, but again, it’s tiny.
A Quick Look at the Rest
The next few days just get worse. Choppy cross-onshore winds and even smaller waves. The next blip of moderate energy arrives on August 6th, with a 3ft swell at 8 seconds (126 combined energy), but the wind is onshore and messy. There’s a clean morning on August 11th with glassy conditions and 3ft from the NW, but it’s still just ordinary.
The Best on Offer (if you can call it that)
The only thing that stands out is the morning of Thursday, August 14th. At Seignosse - Le Penon, we’ve got a glassy 2ft from the W with a 9-second period. It’s tiny, but the wind is dead calm, which is rare. It’ll be clean, but it’s inconsistent and just a beginner-level wave. For a more experienced surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about.
The Long Range
Into the second week, August 16th has a 4ft swell from the NW (167 combined energy), but the wind is onshore and the conditions are poor. It’s a long way off and not reliable.
So, to sum it up: we’re in a flat, weak patch. The water is warm, but the waves are not cooperating. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings on the 4th, 5th, 11th, or 14th are your only real shots, and even then, keep your expectations real low. It won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, the boards are staying in the van.
Rusty.
