The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Seignosse - Le Penon. Rusty here.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. There’s practically nothing worth paddling out for. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 30 or 40 (combined energy of all swells directed here: 33 to 53). We’re looking at tiny dribbles of 1ft to 2ft from the WNW or NW, with periods that are all over the place, mostly short. The wind is messy too – onshore, cross-onshore, choppy. It’s a write-off from Wednesday 15 July right through to the morning of Friday 24 July.
Then, around Friday 24 July morning, things start to stir. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy jumps to 122 (moderate). But it’s still onshore wind, so the surf will be poor. This energy builds through the weekend and into Monday 27 July, with heights up to 5ft from the WNW (energy reaching 233), but again, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it up. It’s a frustrating setup.
The real standout, the one that’s got me hopeful, is the morning of Tuesday 28 July. The wind switches to a clean offshore from the east at 6 mph, and we’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 253 (moderate). The conditions are clean. This is the best on offer in the whole window – a proper window for a session at Seignosse - Le Penon.
After that, Wednesday 29 July fades a bit, but then Thursday 30 July morning is another gem. The wind goes glassy calm, the swell is 4ft from the NW with a long 11-second period, and the energy is a strong 361. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll be clean and powerful. The afternoon holds up too, with a 4ft NW swell and a cross-offshore breeze from the southeast, keeping it clean. These two days are the ones to circle.
A quick note on the water: the sea temperature is 75° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, the first week is a bust. The second week has a couple of promising days at the end. Keep an eye on Tuesday 28 July and Thursday 30 July.
Rusty.
