The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Rusty here, looking at Seignosse – Le Penon for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow starter, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Right now, it’s flat. The first few days have tiny, weak waves – energy readings in the 40s and 50s, nothing to paddle for. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so the water is clean, but there’s just no size. This quiet stretch runs through Wednesday the 28th.
Thursday the 29th of August is when we finally get some life. The morning brings a clean 1.8m swell from the WNW, with a 9-second period and strong 535 energy. The wind is light and offshore from the East, making for really clean waves. This is the standout. The height is over 1.5m, so it’s not ideal for beginners, but if you can handle it, this is the session to target. Seignosse – Le Penon is a beach/jetty setup, so with that period, expect some decent shape. Crowds can show up sometimes, so plan accordingly.
Friday the 30th and Saturday the 31st still have some size (1.7m to 1.9m), but the wind swings cross-shore and cross-onshore, making conditions choppy and marginal. The energy stays up past 600 at times, but the quality isn’t there.
Looking ahead, Tuesday the 1st of September morning is another good one. The wind is glassy – dead calm – with a clean 1.5m WNW swell at 9 seconds. That’s a great combo for a beach break. The energy reading of 370 is solid. It’s not as punchy as the 29th, but glassy conditions make up for it. This is your second-best option.
Further out, Monday the 7th of September morning shows potential – glassy again, with a smaller 1.1m, 10-second swell from the NW (216 energy). A clean, fun-sized day, but we’re in the second week, so keep expectations tempered.
Water temp is a very warm 76°F, much warmer than average, so you’ll be comfortable in shorts and a rash guard.
Best bets: Thursday the 29th of August morning is the clear winner. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is the backup for clean, glassy waves. The rest is mostly small or choppy.
Rusty out.
