The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, letting you know how things are shaping up for Seignosse - Les Estagnots.
Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The forecast doesn't show any decent surf until Saturday the 22nd, so you’ve got a few days to kick back. Even then, the swell is small and the real standout doesn't come until later.
The best bet on offer is Saturday morning the 22nd. We've got a clean 4 ft swell from the NW, period around 9 seconds, and that crucial offshore easterly wind at 9 mph. That's going to give us some clean, workable lines. The combined swell energy is moderate at 211, and for an expert break like this, it's the pick of the early period. The water is running at 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
For the rest of the first week, the swell drops right off into the 0.7 ft to 2 ft range through Monday and Tuesday, and the wind shifts around, so don't bother paddling out unless you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience. We see a slight pulse again on Thursday morning the 27th, with 5 ft from the WNW, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the SW, and the wave comment is poor. Not worth the paddle.
The second week shows a glimmer of hope. Sunday morning the 30th of August and Monday morning the 31st look interesting. Both mornings have clean conditions with light offshore or glassy winds and a solid 5 ft to 5 ft swell from the WNW, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy on Sunday is 338, and Monday is 286. That's your window for a proper session, but it's over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the wind turns onshore and we get a run of poor conditions right through to the end of the forecast. The swell sticks around, but it's messy. There’s a big pulse on Thursday afternoon the 3rd of September, with 8 ft from the WNW and 824 in combined energy, but it’s blown out with a cross-onshore wind. That's expert territory and messy with it.
Overall, if you’re free Saturday morning the 22nd or the last two days of August and start of September, those are your windows. The rest is a waiting game.
