The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Seignosse - Le Penon.
Honestly, the start of this forecast is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a gap of poor surf through Friday the 21st and into Saturday morning. The first real glimmer of something surfable shows up on Saturday the 22nd. The morning is your best bet with a clean 4ft swell from the NW, period around 9 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the east. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean. The energy is moderate (266). This is a beginner-friendly break, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a constant wave train. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so that long period groundswell (over 15 seconds) that can make beach breaks close out isn’t an issue here.
Sunday the 23rd drops off fast. The swell fades to 2ft, period drops to 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (67). It’s surfable but ordinary. By Monday the 24th, it’s practically flat.
We get a little pulse again on Wednesday the 27th, but the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore and choppy. The real tease is Friday the 28th. The afternoon sees a 10ft swell from the WNW with strong energy (2089) – but that’s way too big for this break. The wind is a messy cross-onshore, and the forecast even says it’s too big. This is a spot for experts only if you’re feeling brave, and the conditions look blown out. Honestly, it might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on that afternoon.
The standout for the whole forecast is Saturday the 5th of September. The morning brings a clean 4ft swell from the NW, a 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the east. The energy is moderate (241). The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a small, clean, fun morning of waves, and the best thing on offer by a long way. The vibe will be good.
Between now and then, there’s a lot of small, windy, or messy days. The 5th of September is the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
