Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Seignosse - Le Penon. Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The first week is pretty flat and limp, with a lot of onshore wind messing up any chance of a decent wave. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath out there.
The week opens with a tiny 2ft swell from the NW on Monday the 6th, with a 9-second period, and while the morning has a light offshore breeze making it look clean, the combined energy is weak (64). It’s surfable, but really ordinary. The swell drops even more through Tuesday and Wednesday, barely scraping 1ft to 2ft, with the wind swinging onshore or cross-onshore most of the time. Thursday the 9th sees a slight bump to 2ft-3ft (90-105 energy), but it’s still onshore and choppy – not worth paddling out for.
The standout window in this whole forecast is a brief moment on Saturday morning, July 11th. The wind goes dead glassy – absolute calm – and the swell nudges up to 3ft from the WNW at 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 115, so it’s got a little more push. This is your best chance for a clean, fun little session. After that, Sunday the 12th stays small and messy, and the following week doesn’t offer much until the 19th.
Now, things get interesting but not good. Around Sunday the 19th of July, a bigger swell arrives – 7ft to 8ft from the NW with a 7-8 second period. That’s expert territory size-wise, and the combined energy shoots up to 521-629, meaning there’s serious power. But the problem is the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Monday the 20th is similar, with 5ft-6ft and still choppy.
Overall, the only real standout is that glassy Saturday morning on the 11th. The rest is a long stretch of flat or blown-out conditions. For an inconsistent spot like Le Penon, runs like this happen. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so it needs the right combo to shine, and it just doesn’t line up this time.
