The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s ahead for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first few days are a total bust. Tiny, weak swell and onshore winds making a mess of things. The water’s running about 76°, which is a good 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a hot tub.
The first real chance comes on the morning of Tuesday, July 28. Seignosse - Les Bourdaines picks up a small pulse of NW swell at 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, and the wind is offshore out of the east, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (236). It’s not big, but the glassy conditions will make it rideable. Crowds are sometimes around, so you might have some company.
The real standout is the morning of Sunday, August 2. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, period around 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the east at 12 mph, so it’ll be smooth and clean. The combined energy is solid moderate (338). This is the best window in the whole forecast: decent size, clean conditions, and a proper beach/jetty setup. It’s an expert wave at this size, so if you’re not comfortable with overhead surf, give it a miss.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy for the rest of the first week of August. The morning of Wednesday, August 5, has a glassy 3ft NW swell, but the energy is weak (169) and the waves are just ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.
The long-range outlook fades out. The morning of Friday, August 7, has a tiny 1ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but the combined energy is only 47 – barely a ripple. That’s the end of the 16-day window, so we’re looking at a quiet finish.
So, to sum it up: the morning of Sunday, August 2, is the one to aim for, with a decent NW swell, offshore wind, and solid energy. The morning of Tuesday, July 28, is a close second for a cleaner, smaller session. Everything else is a stay-in-bed kind of forecast.
Rusty.
