The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at the next couple of weeks at Seignosse - Le Penon, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. There’s no real surf to get excited about right away. The first decent window doesn't open up until the morning of Monday, 28 July.
Monday the 28th is really the only highlight in the whole run. The morning looks good with some chest-high swell around 4ft pushing in from the NW, and that ESE offshore breeze at 6 mph will keep the faces clean. The afternoon cleans up too with a cross-off breeze, though the swell drops a touch to 4ft. The wave energy is moderate. This is it, the standout. The swell direction is right on from the west, which is what this break wants. It's inconsistent here at the best of times, so you gotta jump on it when it’s on.
After that, it dies. From Wednesday the 29th all the way to Sunday the 10th of August the surf is tiny and choppy – mostly under 3ft with onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The morning of Tuesday, 4 August has a tiny glassy 2ft wave, but it's not worth paddling out for. Friday morning, 7 August also has a glassy 2ft wave with a bit of period, but again, barely a ripple.
There’s a glimmer late in the forecast on the morning of Monday, 10 August, with a 4ft swell on the way from the WNW. But the wind is onshore, so it'll be lumpy, and the period is a short 8 seconds. Might be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. Look, it’s a blank run for a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, so don’t be too surprised. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’ve got that one morning on the 28th to get wet if you’re keen.
Rusty.
