The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a 16-day forecast for Seignosse - Le Penon, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are some absolute gems hidden in there.

The water temp is sitting right about where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The beginning of the run is pretty flat. We’ve got a couple of days of tiny, weak waves, and the wind is all over the place. Thursday the 27th has some glassy conditions in the morning, but with only 1 ft of swell and a weak 23 combined energy, it’s barely a ripple. You’d be better off sitting that one out.

Friday the 28th sees a bit more size, but the wind is messy and the quality is poor. It’s a no-go.

Then, we get to the real standout. Saturday morning, August 29th is the one to circle. We’ve got clean 6 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 549, which is a solid, fun wave. This is a beginner-friendly size, but with the offshore glass, it’s going to be clean and fun for everyone. This is the best on offer in the first week, hands down.

Sunday morning, August 30th, is another strong contender. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a longer 11-second period, and we’ve got an offshore wind. The energy is a very healthy 829. This is proper, well-shaped groundswell – bigger, more powerful, and with longer lulls. It’s still manageable for most, but that extra punch makes it a real treat.

The afternoons through the weekend and into the week are a bit of a letdown, with the wind swinging onshore or cross-shore, so stick to those morning sessions.

The first week of September sees a drop in size, but there are some nice, clean windows. Tuesday morning, September 1st, has 5 ft swell and glassy conditions, and the 10-second period makes for a decent wave. The energy is a moderate 430. It’s a solid, if not spectacular, option.

The second week turns quieter. The swell drops, and the energy levels are low. We get a few interesting mornings, though. Saturday morning, September 5th, has a clean 2 ft swell but with a very long 12-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. That long period means it’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll wrap into the point and reef setups perfectly. The energy is 238, which is weak but the quality is there. Monday morning, September 7th, also offers clean 4 ft waves with a 10-second period and a cross-offshore wind. It’s not big, but it’s clean.

The last few days, from the 10th onward, look messy. The swell tries to pick up, but the wind is mostly onshore, and the period is short. It’s not worth paddling out for.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is Saturday morning, August 29th for the best all-round conditions, with Sunday morning, August 30th as a close second for a bit more power. The rest of the run is a mix of small, clean windows and blown-out afternoons. Keep your eyes on the long-range forecasts for the second week, as those clean, long-period swells are promising but not locked in.

Rusty out.
