The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – the next week and a half is a mixed bag at Seignosse - Le Penon. We’ve got some proper grovel conditions and a lot of wind-battered days to sift through. The first few days are a write-off, but if you’re patient, there’s a promising window around the 27th July and a real standout that’s worth marking on the calendar for the 9th August.

The water is a weird one right now at Le Penon. It’s sitting at 76°F, which is a solid 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, almost like bathwater. You won’t need a steamer, that’s for sure.

The first real flicker of life comes on Monday morning, 27th July. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the NNE at 6 mph with a 3 ft swell out of the NW. The energy is weak (277), but the period is a solid 11 seconds, which gives it a bit of groundswell punch for the size. It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect a non-stop conveyor belt, but with the wind light and clean, the waves will be shaped up nicely. A solid option for a longer board.

Tuesday, 28th July, keeps the clean theme going. Morning is looking glassy with a cross-off wind from the ESE at 6 mph, and the swell is 4 ft from the NW (energy 311). The afternoon holds up too, with a clean 4 ft NW swell. The period drops to 10 seconds, but it’s still a decent shaped wave. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so that long period 11-second swell on Monday might be a bit too straight for the bank, but Tuesday’s shorter period should offer more manageable sections.

We hit a bit of a flat spell from the 29th July through the 1st August. A few desperate mornings with glassy conditions but barely any swell (1 ft to 2 ft) – this is definitely a lull.

Now, Sunday morning, 9th August. That’s the one. Book it. We’re looking at a building 5 ft WNW swell, but the real kicker is the wind: glassy. Dead calm. The energy is pumping at 308, and the period is 9 seconds. It’s a long-range call, so don’t sell the farm just yet, but if it holds, Seignosse - Le Penon will be clean, lined up, and with enough juice to get you into some real fun ones. The afternoon picks up to 6 ft and 502 energy, but the cross-on wind kicks in, so don’t sleep in – get on it early.

The rest of the 16-day window is mostly small or choppy. The 5th and 6th August have some glassy mornings with 3 ft to 3 ft waves, but it’s only ordinary, surfable stuff. Not a standout.

So, the best on offer? Monday 27th July for a clean, long-period morning session, but the real standout is Sunday morning, 9th August. Glassy, moderate swell, and a whole lot of potential. The crowds are *sometimes* there, so you might have company, but for that kind of clean, glassy Le Penon, it’s worth it.

Rusty.
