The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off a bit slow, so don't rush out the door. The real juice starts to build towards the end of this week and peaks right at the start of next week.
Wednesday the 26th is tiny. We're talking 1ft waves from the WNW, weak and with a 10-second period. The energy is minimal (44), and while a light ESE cross-off breeze keeps it clean, there's just not enough to ride.
Thursday the 27th picks up a little. You'll see waves around 3ft, still from the WNW, but the period drops to 8 seconds, making it a bit weaker. The energy is low to moderate (98-113), and the light cross-off wind keeps it tidy. It's surfable, but nothing special.
Friday the 28th is a write-off. The swell gets to 4ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, but the wind is all wrong. Strong onshore westerlies in the morning, then a messy cross-shore from the NNW in the afternoon. The energy is there (199-447), but the conditions are poor. It'll be a chop fest.
Now, Saturday morning, August 29th, is your first real standout. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and strong energy (535). The wind is a light offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph, which will clean it right up. This is expert territory at that size, and for a spot exposed to the west, it's going to be a good one. The water is a very unusual 76°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than normal – feels incredible.
Sunday the 30th is mixed. The morning has a lighter 5ft swell but with a cross-onshore breeze, making it messy. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft with a longer 11-second period (energy 645), but the NNW wind is cross-shore, creating some chop. It's a gamble.
Monday morning, August 31st, is the absolute gem of this forecast. The swell is a solid 6ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period and strong energy (553). The wind is dead calm, absolutely glassy. That’s a rare combination and it's going to be perfect. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'm telling you, this is the session to plan for. It's big enough for the experienced crew, and with consistent waves and a crowd that's often there, you'll want to be first in the water.
Tuesday the 1st of September is still decent. The morning has 5ft waves from the WNW with glassy conditions from a light easterly. Good surf, but not as powerful as Monday.
From Wednesday the 2nd, the swell backs off. The rest of the first week and into the second week sees heights dropping to 2ft - 4ft. The wind is mostly light and clean in the mornings, but the wave energy is weak (54-216). It's surfable but ordinary.
There's a small window on Monday the 7th of September. The morning offers 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (216), and it's described as "good surf conditions." A nice little consolation prize.
After that, the pattern fades. Tuesday the 8th sees a 5ft NW swell but with onshore wind, making it messy. The rest of the week is small, weak, and mostly cross-shore or onshore. Not worth getting excited about.
So, to lay it out plain: the best bets are Saturday morning, August 29th, with that clean offshore wind, and the absolute winner is Monday morning, August 31st – glassy conditions, 6ft of clean WNW swell. That's the one. The second week is a shadow, with just a brief good morning on the 7th.
Signing off,
Rusty
