The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Seignosse - Le Penon.
First thing you’ll notice: the water is a lot warmer than usual – 76°F, which is about 5°F above the norm. Feels like summer, but the surf is taking its sweet time to get going.
We’ve got a dry spell from Monday the 24th through Sunday the 30th of August. It’s tiny, weak, and mostly blown out. There’s a couple of brief clean windows – Wednesday the 26th morning has a 1ft NW swell with an offshore wind, but it’s only got weak energy (50). Thursday the 27th morning is similar: 2ft from the NW, offshore, but still weak (54). Not worth getting wet for.
Sunday the 30th morning offers a moment of peace: glassy conditions, 4ft from the NW, with 159 energy. Still small, but it’s clean. By afternoon, the wind picks up and ruins it.
The first real highlight is Tuesday the 1st of September. Morning session: dead calm, glassy, with a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, period 10 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy is 541 (moderate). The wind is flat, so it’ll be smooth. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets, but the quality will be there. It’s beginner-friendly size, but fun for everyone.
After that, the middle of the week is quiet again. Then Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September bring a big pulse: 8ft to 10ft, but the wind is howling onshore from the W and WNW at 16-19 mph. That’s kite-surfing conditions, not clean surf. The energy is strong to very strong (1077-1426), but it’ll be a washing machine.
The real standout for the experts is Sunday the 6th of September. Morning: glassy, 6ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, combined energy 1135 (strong). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. Clean, powerful, and no wind.
And Monday the 7th of September morning is another cracker: 4ft from the WNW, but with a 16-second period – very long groundswell. Offshore wind from the ESE, clean as a whistle, combined energy 1243 (strong). The long period will make the waves stand up and draw lines, but the sets will be spaced out. Worth the wait.
So, the first week is a bust. The best bets are Tuesday the 1st of September morning for the clean, glassy, medium-sized waves, and Sunday the 6th of September morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff for the experienced crew. Long-range looks promising, but don’t book your flights yet.
Rusty.
