Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first real window of interest doesn't kick in until the morning of Thursday the 10th. Before that, Wednesday the 9th is a complete write-off – the wind is howling cross-shore and the water's chopped up (wave energy at 494). So, a one-day gap to get through.

For Thursday morning, September 10th, conditions clean up nicely. We're looking at a clean 4ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, which should line things up well. It's a solid, if modest, start. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is *much warmer* than usual for this time of year – a real treat if you're getting in.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Sunday morning, September 13th. This is the pick of the outlook. We've got a proper 4ft NW groundswell bumping up to 5ft, but with a long 13-second period pushing a lot of energy (543). And the wind? Dead calm. Glassy. That's a rare combo. For an expert spot like Les Estagnots, this is going to be world-class clean. Just know that it's consistent and draws crowds often, so you'll want to be on it early.

Sunday afternoon stays solid at 5ft with a 12-second period, but a cross-shore breeze comes up, making for a more challenging session. Monday the 14th morning is another good shout with 4ft WNW swell, glassy winds, and a clean look.

The second week gets a bit messy for a stretch. A strong onshore wind blows from the 16th through the 17th, killing the quality on what would otherwise be decent sized swell (5ft). The morning of Friday, September 18th brings relief with offshore winds and a clean 4ft NW swell. Saturday the 19th morning is similar with 4ft and offshore winds. Look, these are fun, workable days, but nothing that touches that Sunday glass-off.

Then we hit a warning sign. On Monday, September 21st, the swell is predicted to pump up to a massive 10ft from the WNW. The combined energy readings (around 1800) are off the charts. That's expert-only territory, plain and simple. For most, the break will be unsurfable.

Things settle down for the final run. Tuesday morning, September 22nd offers up a very clean 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions and high energy (802). That's another quality session a week and a half out, so it's promising but keep your ear to the ground. Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th mornings both look clean with similar 4-5ft WNW swell and light winds to finish the outlook strong.

So, to sum it up: the prize is that glassy Sunday the 13th. Thursday the 10th and Monday the 14th mornings are solid fallback options, and keep an eye on Tuesday the 22nd for a second wind. Get on it.
