The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Seignosse - Le Penon.
The first few days are a bust – weak windswell and onshore junk. There’s a gap of small, mediocre surf until we get to the weekend. But hold on, it gets better.
The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 29th. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the west-northwest. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be like a mirror. Wave energy is moderate at 449. It’s not giant, but those clean, sunny conditions will make for a superb session.
Then, right at the end of the run, Tuesday September 8th is a wildcard. A massive 13ft groundswell from the west-northwest is forecast. With a combined energy of 4407, this is a potent, powerful swell. The morning looks clean and offshore, but at that size, this beach/jetty is only for the hardcore experts. The rest of us should watch from the sand.
Between those two, the best bet for most folks is Tuesday morning, September 1st. That’s a clean 6ft west-northwest swell with a light offshore breeze and very good wave conditions. Energy is strong at 637. That’s the sweet spot for size and quality.
The water temp is 75°F, way warmer than average for this time of year – feels like the tropics.
The second week sees a drop in swell, with maybe a few glassy windows, but nothing else is worth a special trip.
Final call: First week is mostly a slog, but Saturday the 29th morning is the call for fun, clean waves. For the brave, Tuesday September 8th morning is a serious, expert-only proposition.
Keep it salty.
Rusty.
