The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the long-range picture for the next couple of weeks down at Seignosse - Les Estagnots. It’s a bit of a tough one to call right now. The water is sitting at 75°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice surprise.
The first surfable day we’ve got is on Monday, August 10th, but honestly, it’s not much to write home about. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft NW swell with a weak 9-second period, and while the combined energy is low (86), the morning is glassy. That’s the only saving grace. The waves will be there, but they’re really ordinary.
Tuesday the 11th is more of the same – 2ft NW swell, glassy again in the morning, but the energy is even weaker (67). The waves are small and gutless. You’d be scraping for anything rideable.
There’s a repeating pattern here: glassy mornings with tiny swell, then the wind swings cross-onshore in the afternoons and ruins it. Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th, Friday the 14th… it’s all the same story. The swell barely cracks 3ft, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor.
Finally, on Sunday, August 16th, we get a slight bump. A 3ft WNW swell and glassy conditions in the morning again, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds. That’s windswell, short and weak. The energy is only 65. It’s surfable, but only just.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Thursday, August 20th. The afternoon sees a 4ft NW swell with a longer 11-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 320 (moderate). The wind is light and onshore though, which is a letdown. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen.
Late in the window, on Saturday, August 22nd, the morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore wind and a 2ft WNW swell. It’s tiny, but it’s clean, which is more than we can say for most of this forecast.
Honestly, Les Estagnots is an exposed, consistent spot, but the whole 16-day run is filled with poor surf conditions and small, short-period swell. There’s no standout day here. The swell never gets above 4ft, and when it does have a little push, the wind is wrong. For experts, the 4ft to 4ft days with onshore wind might be a frustrating session. For everyone else, the glassy mornings with tiny waves are your only chance for a splash.
It’s a flat spell, folks. Keep your eye on the forecasts, but right now, I’d say save your energy.
