The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a look at the next couple of weeks at Seignosse - Les Estagnots. The water is a toasty 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first couple of days are a write-off, I’m not gonna lie to you. Friday the 28th is a mess with a cross-onshore wind and choppy, poor surf. Not worth paddling out. The swell energy is weak to moderate (365) and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s just bumpy. Don’t bother.
Things start to look up on Saturday morning, the 29th. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period. The real story is the wind: a light offshore from the SE, making it clean. The wave energy is strong (736). This is a proper expert session, as that swell size is pushing into the big territory, so it’s not one for the beginners. Expecting crowds to be a factor here, as it’s often busy.
Sunday the 30th is the standout of the first week. The morning session is looking glassy with a light SE wind and 6ft of WNW swell. The period stretches to 11 seconds, giving it some real push and shape. The combined energy is strong (674). This is going to be clean, lined-up surf. It’s a beach break, so that long period might make it a bit straight, but with glassy conditions, it’s a no-brainer. Get out there early.
Monday the 31st still has some good potential in the morning with glassy conditions and a 5ft swell, but the energy is a bit weaker (431). The rest of the week into early September sees the swell drop off significantly. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore winds (like the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of September), but the swell is tiny, often under 3ft. You’ll be on a longboard, but it’s surfable.
Then we get a promising one in the second week. Saturday the 5th of September, the morning session looks very good. A solid 6ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and the wind is glassy from the SSW. The wave energy is very strong (966). This is the best on offer in the whole window. It’s an expert-level wave at that size, and the long period will make it powerful and fat. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, so hit the dawn patrol. This is a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed the charts hold.
After that, the swell fades again. The 6th and 7th are a mix of onshore wind and small, messy waves. The energy drops right off. The 8th through the 12th are mostly poor, with a few tiny, clean mornings for the log. The 12th shows a tiny 2ft wave with a very long 18-second period, but it’s cross-shore and messy.
So, the window has a few clean windows, but the true standouts are Sunday the 30th of August and Saturday the 5th of September. The 5th has the edge for power and size, but the 30th is more reliable being closer. Get on it.
Rusty.
