The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here with a look at Seignosse - Le Penon. I gotta be honest with you, straight up: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 75°F, which is a small comfort, but that’s about it.
Starting from Sunday, August 9th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell. The energy is low, measuring just 72 (combined energy of all swells directed here), with onshore winds messing up what little there is. It’s a no-go. This flat spell drags on through the whole week. Monday the 10th morning might look glassy, but the swell’s still a pathetic 2ft from the NW, and the energy is weak. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The same story repeats itself day after day – little bumps of NW swell, mostly poor conditions. The afternoon of Wednesday the 12th brings a weak cross-shore, but the waves are only 2ft. It’s a grind.
We finally see a little bump on Friday the 14th in the morning, with the swell height hitting 3ft from the WNW and the combined energy reaching a moderate 140. But that’s paired with onshore wind and tagged as “poor surf conditions.” It’s a tease. Saturday the 15th is no better, with wind and sloppy waves. The second week is more of the same, with tiny, weak swell and mostly messy conditions. The morning of Monday the 17th offers some clean, small waves with a light offshore from the east, but the swell’s only 2ft and the period is a short 7 seconds. It’s desperate.
Then, hold onto your board, because Saturday the 22nd of August is our one true standout. The morning is looking good, with glassy conditions, light west wind, and the swell jumps to a fun 5ft from the WNW. The energy is strong, clocking in at 255. That’s the best we’ll see, and it’s the only day worth circling on your calendar. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore, but the morning has some proper potential for a point break or a reef setup to handle that WNW direction. It's a solid wave, but at 5ft, it’s getting a bit too big for total beginners. After that, Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are back to onshore chop and poor conditions. So, don’t hold your breath for the rest. That Saturday morning is it.
Rusty.
