The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. The next 16 days at Seignosse - Les Estagnots are a real mixed bag, and honestly, for the most part, it’s a bit of a battle. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak conditions with a lot of onshore wind. The water is a balmy 75°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – over 4° warmer than average, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
The first proper window of anything surfable is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. We get a tiny pulse of swell from the NW at 3ft, but the important thing is the wind. It’s a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is going to keep the surface clean. The combined energy is still weak (123), but it’s the cleanest we’ll see for a while. After that, Thursday afternoon gets choppy again.
Friday morning the 7th is another one to keep an eye on. The wind goes glassy – totally flat calm – with a little 3ft wave from the NNW. It’s a short period swell (6 seconds), so it won’t have much push, but it’ll be a fun little session on a longboard if you want to get wet without a fight. The energy is low (63), so don’t expect barrels.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Friday afternoon all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with cross-onshore winds. Tuesday morning the 11th, the wind drops to glassy again with a 3ft NW swell, but again, it’s short period (7 seconds) and weak energy (96). It’s surfable, but just barely.
The real kicker comes mid-month. There’s a gap of several days with nothing recommended, but the next potential pulse shows up on Saturday the 15th of August. The swell picks up to 5ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 169 – that’s the most energy we’ve seen, but it’s still moderate. The problem is the wind is onshore from the W in the morning and cross-onshore in the afternoon. This is a beach-and-reef setup, and with that onshore wind and swell size, this actually looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The period is short (6 seconds) so it’ll be a bit of a mess.
The final few days, the 17th and 18th of August, are more of the same: onshore wind, small swell, and poor conditions. A couple of sessions have moderate energy (163 on the 18th morning), but it’s all onshore wind. It’s a frustrating outlook for the locals. The best bet is to pick the glassy morning windows on the 7th or 11th for a tame, clean paddle.
