Seignosse - Le Penon Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Seignosse - Le Penon over the next couple of weeks.

We're starting off with a bit of a flat spell, honestly. The first few days are a write-off for a proper paddle. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are just messy with onshore wind and poor conditions, so don't bother. Wednesday the 9th morning is our first real glimmer of hope. The swell is pushing 6ft from the NW, with a 9-second period, and we've got a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°, which is a nice bonus. The combined energy is moderate (503). That morning session is the standout for the first week, but by the afternoon, the wind swings around and churns it up again.

The rest of that first week is a real mixed bag. Thursday the 10th is only marginal, Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are tiny with only 2ft to 2ft of swell, though Friday morning is glassy which is a tease. Sunday the 13th sees a bigger groundswell pulse coming in at 5ft from the NW with a long 13-second period, giving it a beefy energy (626). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bumpy ride. A real "what could have been" situation.

Now, mark your calendar for Monday the 14th. That's a beauty. The swell is 4ft from the NW, with a nice 12-second period, and we get a glassy morning with an offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is solid at 448. That's your best bet for clean, lined-up waves at Le Penon in the first half of the outlook. After that, we drift back into small, onshore junk for a few days.

The second week shows a bit more promise. The morning of Friday the 18th looks excellent again: glassy, clean, 4ft of NW swell with an 11-second period. The energy is back up to 448. That's a strong contender. Then Saturday the 19th morning is also glassy with a solid 6ft of NW swell, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit softer and more crumbley on the beach. Still, a fun morning session.

That's about it for the clear winners. There's a pulse on the 21st with a big 5ft, 13-second swell (energy 721!), but it's accompanied by a stormy onshore wind, making it a total mess. The outlook wraps up with Tuesday the 22nd morning offering one last clean, offshore window with 3ft of swell, but it's a bit small.

So, to sum it up: the best sessions are the mornings of Wednesday the 9th, Monday the 14th, and Friday the 18th. The 14th and 18th are the pick of the bunch for the best combination of size, period, and that precious glassy wind. Don't expect perfection, but there are a few good waves to be had.

Rusty.
