The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a slow start, but the water is feeling much warmer than usual for this time of year at 74°, which is a nice treat. The real action starts to build as we head into the weekend and beyond, with a couple of standout windows that are worth circling on the calendar.
The first real sign of life comes on Tuesday morning, September 1st, at Seignosse - Le Penon. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid moderate 448. With a light offshore breeze from the ENE, it’s going to be clean. The swell is a bit much for true beginners, but it’s not too crazy. It’s a beach/jetty setup that’s exposed to the west, and it can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
The next good window is Sunday morning, September 6th. Another early one. Glassy conditions, flat calm, and a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is back up to 448 again. This will be clean and lined up, but remember that longer period swell can make beach breaks a bit straight, so look for any little banks or rips to work with. This is the pick of the first week.
Now, we have a bit of a gap. The middle of the week (September 7th through 12th) is pretty messy with onshore winds and smaller, choppier surf. Not worth paddling out for.
Tuesday morning, September 15th, offers another promising session. The swell has dropped a touch to 4ft from the WNW, but the period is still a solid 12 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 400. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, so the waves should have some shape. This is a good bet for the second week.
Wednesday morning, September 16th, is also in the mix. Glassy conditions with a 4ft NW swell at 11 seconds. The combined energy is 333, and with calm winds, it’ll be a clean option for a mid-week paddle.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a slow burner, but don’t sleep on Tuesday or Sunday mornings. The second week has a couple of promising mornings, but those are a bit further out, so keep an eye on the forecast. If you’re a beginner, the 3ft to 4ft days later in the window will be more your speed, but the bigger days are for the more experienced crew.
Rusty.
